Our trainers are not cyber experts who explain protocols. They are psychologists and educators who understand how humans think, hesitate, resist — and ultimately change.
Meet Marie. Head of accounts for the past 12 years at an industrial SME. Serious, conscientious, impeccable. She attended two mandatory "cybersecurity" trainings over the past few years. She ticked the boxes. She had forgotten everything by the next day.
On a Tuesday morning, she received an urgent email from her "CEO" asking her to approve an exceptional bank transfer before 11am. She clicked. She lost €85,000 in four minutes. Not through carelessness. Not through stupidity. Because the human brain is wired to obey authority, react to urgency, and avoid conflict.
That is precisely why we built a different kind of trainer team. Professionals who understand the psychology of error, the cognitive biases that make us vulnerable, and the pedagogical mechanisms that truly embed new attitudes. Because protecting an organisation means first understanding the humans within it.
Attackers exploit the universal cognitive biases we all share.
Under time pressure, the brain disables critical thinking and prioritises immediate action. Attackers know this — and use it systematically.

We comply 3x faster with instructions that appear to come from an authority figure — even when reason tells us to doubt.
— Milgram, studies on obedience to authority
After a standard training, 78% of participants believe they can recognise a phishing attempt. But their actual behaviour does not change.
— UWorkSafe behavioural study, 2024
Every uworksafe trainer combines expertise in behavioural sciences with an in-depth understanding of cyber threats.
Specialists in cognitive biases & decision-making. They create visceral moments of awareness that the brain cannot ignore.
Cognitive biases · Decision-making · Stress management
Masters of experiential learning. Their tools: role-playing, situational exercises, calculated surprise. Emotion retains what logic cannot.
Active pedagogy · Experiential learning · Facilitation
Former security consultants & SOC analysts. They have seen real attacks and bring the credibility that makes the threat tangible.
Threat intelligence · Real cases · Social engineering
Our sessions begin with a surprise situational exercise — a live fake phishing attempt, an attack demonstration. The employee feels the vulnerability first.
Why is our brain vulnerable? Why could you, specifically, be targeted? Understanding the mechanisms is what develops active vigilance.
A one-off training does not change lasting behaviour. Our programmes alternate sessions, simulations, micro-modules and reminders spaced over time.
An employee who fears making mistakes hides their errors. Our trainers create a supportive environment where reporting a doubt is valued.
Our indicators measure actual behaviours: reporting rate, resistance to phishing simulations, adoption of good reflexes over time.
We rigorously apply findings from neuroscience, cognitive psychology and educational science.
Increases long-term retention by 60% vs a one-off training.
We learn better in the context where we will need to apply the knowledge.
The brain prioritises retaining what generated an emotional response.
We adopt behaviours that are valued by our professional group.
Give your teams a training that will genuinely move them.
