Mohonk Mountain House partners with Adaptive to strengthen staff security awareness.

“Reminder emails, along with automatic new user enrollment and tracking are our team’s favorite features so far.”

Mohonk Mountain House, the iconic Hudson Valley resort and spa, sought to elevate its security awareness training and aimed for a metric that legacy solutions couldn’t deliver: 100% completion rates.

Bron Walis, Director of Information Technology, led the search for a next-generation platform. He needed a platform to keep pace with cybersecurity’s rapid evolution, and his choice was clear with Adaptive Security.

“[Adaptive’s] deepfake training capabilities stood out to us, and their work with AI addresses a real threat,” Walis says. The platform’s focus on emerging threats, like deepfakes, resonated with the Mohonk Mountain House team.

But Adaptive Security offered more than just cutting-edge content and simulations. Walis and his team also benefited from the platform's efficiency. He praised the intuitive user interface and automation features, explaining that it reduces “the manual work” typically associated with security awareness training.

Adaptive automates enrollment, reminders, and tracking — all of which frees the IT team at Mohonk Mountain House to focus on more critical, hands-on tasks.

With Adaptive, Mohonk Mountain House achieves 100% completion rates for the first time ever, signifying that employees are fully prepared to defend against attacks across all channels, strengthening the organization’s overall security posture.
