The Terranova Security Story
The organization’s journey began in 2001, stemming from founder and CEO Lise Lapointe’s passion for education, training, and technology, all of which are at the heart of every initiative we undertake.
In 2003, Terranova Security went to market with its first security awareness solution and never looked back. By the end of the decade, we had clients on multiple continents and had been highlighted as a vendor to watch in the cyber security awareness space.
In 2020, the organization was recognized as the IT Educational Vendor of the Year. Our training solution also ranked No. 1 in the industry for customer satisfaction in categories including simulated attacks and ease of user management.
In 2021, Terranova Security celebrated 20 years of training millions of cyber heroes worldwide. We’re proud to continue supporting organizations as they launch effective security awareness training programs and continue to train their legion of cyber heroes.
In 2022, Terranova Security joined HelpSystems, a software company focused on helping organizations build secure, automated operations. Being part of the HelpSystems family ensures Terranova Security can fuel security awareness training programs worldwide with increased innovations and empower organizations to protect sensitive information from cyber attacks.
