According to the 2024 Verizon report, the human factors is responsible for 68% of data breaches. Aware of this vulnerability, 90% of cyberattacks exploit human error, with phishing as the primary attack vector. In this context, it has become essential to raise awareness to cybersecurity risks in line with your organization’s needs.
However, although companies recognize the importance of awareness content, very few manage to effectively deploy solutions adapted to their teams’ specific needs. In fact, as much as awareness is a priority, choosing the most suitable tool remains a challenge. Companies are confronted to a diverse range of options, from standardized online training to interactive and personalized tools.
A radar of +100 cybersecurity awareness solutions
In an environment where cybersecurity awareness is becoming a priority, the awareness solutions radar proves to be a strategic ally for companies. This tool provides a clear and structured view of available solutions, helping organizations identify the ones best suited to their needs.
A decision-making tool
The radar allows you to take a step back and provides a broader perspective on all available options by highlighting the scale of choice. It allows companies to quickly identify the most effective and innovative solutions while distinguishing the essential ones. As such, solutions were organized into eight categories: Maturity assessment, Games, AI, General training, Technical training, Chatbot, Phishing and Agencies.
A benchmark for a tailored solution
The radar is based on a benchmark of over +100 solutions available on the market, providing a comprehensive overview of the cybersecurity awareness solutions’ ecosystem.
The benchmark is designed to guide your selection towards the most suitable solution. Companies fill in their criteria to generate a refined list of options: types of content (phishing, passwords, social engineering, etc.), types of formats (quizzes, videos, chatbot, e-learning, etc.), availability and flexibility of the solution, target population, price, languages, etc. This process helps avoid arbitrary choices and ensures the selection of a solution that is truly aligned with awareness challenges and objectives.
Thus, without trying to be exhaustive, the radar offers a wide range of options to best meet your organization’s needs.
Integration process into the benchmark
The process of integrating a solution into the benchmark is intended to be straightforward. Once a solution is identified, it is analyzed and sorted based on specific criteria, along with feedbacks from our Wavestone consultants. In addition, meetings with solution providers allow us to refine our analysis through demonstrations and the collection of additional information.
As such, a solution with a clear and intuitive interface, offering transcriptions in multiple languages, and covering a wide range of topics (phishing, cloud, chatbot, etc.) in an innovative way will be particularly relevant. If it also receives positive feedback from our consultants, it will have a strong chance of being included in the radar.
The benchmark and its radar also come with detailed presentations of certain solutions. Thanks to our expertise and strong convictions regarding awareness, some solutions deemed relevant have detailed profiles that include a more precise overview of the interface and expert opinions, enriched by discussions with vendors. These presentations not only help select the most suitable tool but also highlight often more effective yet lesser-known alternatives.
