About Adaptive Security is the security layer for the AI era, protecting organizations and their employees from modern cyberattacks. AI has changed how every company works, and how every company gets attacked. Employees use AI tools IT doesn't know about. Attackers craft deepfakes, vishing calls, and spear phishing emails that get past filters. Adaptive addresses all of it in one unified platform: managing AI tool usage before it becomes a liability, training employees on the threats they'll actually face, simulating AI-powered attacks, and protecting the inbox and browser so threats never reach their intended targets. Because it's one platform, Adaptive develops a complete risk picture and uses it automatically, applying targeted training, attack simulations, and policy controls to lower risk over time. More than 1,000 organizations run Adaptive to manage their human security program, having raised $150M+ from NVIDIA, Andreessen Horowitz, Bain Capital Ventures, and Citi Ventures.		About SafeInstinct is cybersecurity awareness training that turns security and privacy requirements into practical habits your team can use the same day. Instead of generic once-a-year courses, short 15-30 minute modules cover the threats employees actually face: phishing, business email compromise and payment fraud, data handling and classification, access and least privilege, and GDPR + CCPA readiness. New modules are added at no extra cost. The Adaptive Risk-Based plan personalizes training automatically: a lightweight agent reports the apps each employee uses, and AI tailors their training path to that real risk profile, adapting as new signals appear. Admins can also generate custom trainings from a prompt to match internal policies. An admin dashboard tracks assignments, due dates, completion and scores, with owner, admin and employee roles. Pricing is per user, billed annually, with all training modules included and per-user rates dropping as seats grow.

		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros It’s straightforward, and that’s the key. Many security awareness tools overwhelm you with slides that nobody finishes. This one doesn’t. The material is clearly written by knowledgeable individuals, not generic compliance filler. The examples align with real-world situations. Sales Instinct has an intuitive interface and I was in control of my learning in micro modules... no long sessions with videos and cheesy skits. The pricing was transparent and install simple. Cuts to the chase and has the reporting/compliance needed. The platform is intuitive, easy to set up, and simple to navigate. It provides useful insights in a clear, organized format and makes it easy to stay informed without feeling overwhelmed. I appreciate how reliable and user friendly it is. The setup is genuinely fast for a security product. I came in from an infrastructure background expecting the usual enterprise onboarding friction and there was none. The content is short enough that people finish it, which is the part most awareness tools get wrong. It also gave us documented training records that we are using as evidence in our [certification] audit preparation, which saved me building that from scratch. Cons Having a mobile app is a significant advantage, especially for our team, which relies heavily on their phones for work. They would gladly spend short periods on their phones during their commutes if they had access to a mobile app. These trainings are always a bit dry but that is the nature of the material. I haven’t experienced any major issues. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to add more customization options for alerts and reports, along with a few more advanced features for users who want additional detail. English only. My team is French-speaking and while everyone gets by, non-native speakers slow down on the written scenarios and I know the material lands less well than it would in their own language. Localisation would remove the main friction I have with it.
