Pistachio’s 2024 Year in Review

2024 recap: A reflection of what we’ve accomplished at Pistachio in 2024

Since we’ve now put 2024 behind us, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on everything we’ve accomplished at Pistachio this past year. From platform enhancements to new features, our mission has been to help organizations make cybersecurity a seamless part of their teams’ daily routines. Here’s what stood out in 2024:

What’s New in Our Training

We’ve continued to refine our cybersecurity training to make it even more practical, relevant, and easy to engage with. Here’s how:

Scenario-Based Training
We’ve introduced scenario-based training to help users practice with real-world situations. Instant feedback is provided for every choice, even for correct answers. This helps reinforce key concepts in a practical way.

Calling Simulations
To tackle phone-based phishing tactics, we’ve added call simulations. Users can call a designated number and hear a voicemail confirming if it’s a simulation. It’s a simple, safe way to practice spotting phone-based phishing attempts.

Interactive Email Simulations
These realistic email simulations let users respond as if they were real phishing attempts. If they reply, we’ll follow up with guidance to help them identify phishing cues and strengthen their responses.

Training Bot in Slack
Our new Slack Training Bot delivers scenarios directly to the apps your team uses daily, making training more accessible and effective.

Expanding Our Simulations

Our simulations are designed to provide users with practical experience tailored to their roles, locations, and tools.

Wide Reach
In 2024, we sent over 1.2 million simulations covering tactics like C-suite impersonation, brand spoofing, sequenced reminders, and QR code phishing.

Growing Library
We expanded our library to 167 unique simulation types, adding 143 new ones this year. Our design team also created 45 unique fake brands in just two weeks, keeping simulations fresh and relevant.

Platform and Website Enhancements

We’ve implemented several improvements to make Pistachio more user-friendly and valuable:

Customized Reports
Clients can now generate reports tailored to specific departments or locations, making insights more actionable.

Enhanced Performance Dashboard
The updated dashboard now separates simulations from scenarios and includes advanced filters to simplify data analysis.

New Website
Our redesigned website now offers more detailed information about our products, with a comprehensive layout that makes it easier to explore our tools and services.

Additional Highlights

This year, Pistachio celebrated a lot of milestones:

New Office
We moved to a bigger and better office in Hasle to support our growing team.

First Anniversary
We had our first full year as Pistachio, where we reflected on what we achieved.

Farewell to CYBR
We officially retired CYBR, solidifying Pistachio as our brand moving forward.

Looking Ahead to 2025

In 2023, we outlined an ambitious vision for 2024: enhancing content, improving targeting, and refining our user’s experience. This past year, we delivered on that vision and more. For 2025, we’re setting our sights even higher. We plan to expand our offerings, fine-tune our tools, and continue making Pistachio the go-to platform for cybersecurity awareness.

To every customer who trusted us with their security awareness needs in 2024: thank you! Thank you for being part of our year. Here’s to an even greater 2025!

Fernando Croca
IT & Services Director
Plateform
Role,Company

“We lacked confidence that employees would recognise today’s phishing threats or respond correctly. Since using the Pistachio platform, they are more attentive and proactive in identifying potential risks. The solution is easy to manage, quick to implement, and highly effective.

Johan Haugland
Sikkerhetsansvarlig (CISO)
Horde AS
Role,Company

“The platform is easy to implement and provides clear insights into employee phishing awareness. Its bite-sized learning encourages participation, saves administration time, and allows us to focus more on real threat detection.”

Ana Catarina Silva
Privacy and Cybersecurity and Data Protection Officer
Antas da Cunha Ecija
Role,Company

“We were looking for a practical way to improve cybersecurity awareness across the organization. Pistachio made training simple and engaging, and we’ve seen a noticeable improvement in employee awareness with minimal effort.”

Karsten Winther Hansen
Operations Director
Frie
Role,Company

“Pistachio removed the burden of planning campaigns, collecting data, and evaluating results. The program challenges each employee at their own level and provides clear, simple reporting. Pistachio has streamlined our awareness training and strengthened our organization’s cybersecurity.”

Matti Hakkarainen
ICT Manager
I-Valo Oy
Role,Company

“Our goal was to help employees better recognize phishing emails and avoid malicious links. Pistachio made this easy and engaging, and we’ve seen a clear improvement in detection, fewer clicks on phishing links, and reduced data disclosure. With minimal ongoing maintenance, it’s an effective and low-effort solution.”

Joseph Cunningham
Head of IT Security & Support
OOONO
Role,Company

“Within weeks, Presence had flagged several incidents that could have otherwise been missed, including employees forwarding company data to personal accounts during offboarding. The alerts are reliable and actionable, so we've built a full investigation process around them. Although I was skeptical at first, the value was obvious almost immediately.”

Anthony Balfour
IT Security Specialist
Lhoist Group
Role,Company

“Pistachio has reduced our manual workload to zero with its automated phishing simulations and in‑box delivery of scenario‑based trainings. This has allowed our team to dedicate time to other important security initiatives while Pistachio handles our Security Awareness program seamlessly.”

Carrie Sheen
IT Operations Director
Auxo Talent
Role,Company

“Presence automatically detects suspicious behaviour and gives us the visibility we need without constant manual oversight. Within the first few weeks we were already seeing alerts that would have otherwise gone unnoticed as the system learns what is usual and unusual behaviour for our environment.”

Leon Flikkenschild
CCO
IT Synergy
Role,Company

“Before Pistachio, security awareness was something we could only offer to a few customers. Today it’s part of every managed service we deliver, and we haven’t had to grow the team to make that happen.”
