Case Study: NAV Portugal achieves company‑wide cybersecurity awareness and skyrocketing phishing reporting with IronCircle's ThriveDX security training

Skyrocketing employee awareness in a highly regulated environment

Nav Portugal, the Portuguese Air Traffic Management agency responsible for public safety, needed to protect its highly regulated operations and ~1,000 employees from phishing and other human-targeted cyber threats. To raise employee awareness and comply with strict data rules, Nav Portugal selected IronCircle’s Security Awareness Training with an on‑premise installation to deliver phishing simulations, training content and incident reporting without sharing data with third parties.

IronCircle deployed realistic phishing campaigns, videos, games, SCORM-compatible e‑learning and an integrated incident‑reporting button, with the platform installed in a single day. The result was a major increase in user awareness—employee engagement and participation “skyrocketed,” many more suspicious emails were reported to the SOC, and Nav Portugal achieved company‑wide improvement and the ability to tailor follow‑up campaigns to specific groups.
