“Managing human risk exposure through next-gen threat awareness and security education, whilst simultaneously empowering society”
Next gen, holistic, personally-oriented social engineering threat awareness establishes the foundation upon which to build workplace awareness, countering the predominant threat, reducing human risk exposure, empowering society & maintaining compliance.
