Real organizations.
Real training.
Real impact.
Shira is being used by trainers, nonprofits, and digital security educators across the world, from Buenos Aires to West Asia. These are their stories.

Fundación Huésped, an Argentine nonprofit working at the intersection of public health, human rights, and access to information, partnered with Shira through its Digital Innovation Lab to build a phishing training program for its 200-person staff using real phishing examples their own employees had received.
