Cybersecurity Training Purpose-Built for Schools

K-12 schools are among the most targeted institutions for cyberattacks, yet most cybersecurity training platforms are designed for enterprises — not for faculty, staff, and students. CyberNut, based in Miami, is changing that with an AI-driven platform that combines automated phishing simulations, gamified micro-training, and compliance tracking specifically for the K-12 environment.

Founded by Oliver Page, who started his first EdTech company at age 17 and has worked with IT professionals in over 1,000 schools across 60 countries, CyberNut teaches faculty, staff, and students to recognize phishing attempts, deepfakes, and compliance risks. Co-founder Adil Altaf serves as CTO, bringing deep technical expertise to the platform's AI-driven automation.

Why It Matters

CyberNut raised a $5M seed round led by Growth Street Partners to accelerate its expansion across the K-12 market. The platform already serves more than 400,000 users across 400+ school districts, including marquee clients like Dallas ISD (20,000+ staff) and Fulton County Schools (100+ schools). CyberNut won Tech & Learning's Best of 2025 award, validating its approach in a market where schools face escalating threats but lack enterprise-grade security budgets. By making cybersecurity training accessible and engaging for the education sector, CyberNut is addressing one of the most underserved segments in the security awareness market.
