Case Study: Global Manufacturing Company achieves 80% training adoption and reduces phishing click rates by over 20% with Fortra's Terranova Security

Worldwide Manufacturer Creates Cyber-Aware Culture And Prevents Phishing Attacks With Security Awareness Training

A global manufacturing company with a workforce spread across Europe, Australia, North America and Asia struggled to get non‑U.S. regions to complete its English‑only security training while facing increasingly sophisticated phishing and cyber threats. The challenge was to deliver short, engaging, multilingual training (English, French, German, Mandarin, Spanish, Thai) to thousands of employees and reduce clickthroughs on phishing attempts.

The company adopted Fortra’s Terranova Security—multilingual eLearning modules, phishing simulation templates, analytics, and professional services—alongside monthly communications to reinforce learning. Within three years training adoption rose to 80% globally, simulated‑phish clickthroughs dropped from 35% to under 15%, and annual phishing reports increased from about 25 to more than 500, demonstrating stronger awareness and lasting behavior change.
