For the past 2 to 3 years, cybersecurity awareness offers have become plentiful.

CISO teams are finding it increasingly difficult to find their way and identify a course to take to address this fundamental pillar of any cybersecurity strategy that is the human factor.

The latest trendy gadget should not make us forget the essential which is to obtain the commitment of employees in a path of change and adoption of good practices and good reactions to different situations that may present risks.

To do this, we can rely on 4 pillars which are:

• Awareness of the issues, the threat and the risks,
• Acquisition of a minimum of knowledge,
• Knowing how to ask the right questions when faced with different situations (very often, if the user takes a few seconds to ask themselves questions before acting, many incidents would be avoided),
• Adopting good behaviors that become natural.

Let’s also not forget that raising employee awareness takes time. It is more of a process than a project. Defining KPIs and objectives is therefore essential to be part of a process of continuous improvement!

Conscio Technologies, present in this market for nearly 17 years, with its forty employees, supports nearly 250 clients in raising their employees’ awareness of cybersecurity. Over the past year, 8 million emails inviting them to awareness campaigns or phishing tests have been sent by our platform. In the healthcare sector alone, nearly 530,000 employees have been targeted by these campaigns.

What sets Conscio Technologies apart in its field can be summed up in 4 points:

– An obsession:

What guides us on a daily basis is to ensure that our clients’ users make their commitment “Computer hacking will not pass through me” and that they are not a source of cybersecurity incidents.

– An approach: involving awareness

This is an approach implementing 12 techniques from the psychology of persuasion and engagement applied to online awareness campaigns. It was designed with Fabien Girandola, Professor of Social Psychology at the University of Aix Marseille. Our CSM team is trained in these techniques and supports our clients in the best implementation of these techniques.

– Innovation:

Whether it is on the methodology with involving awareness, on its Sensiwave software with the upcoming integration of generative AI (Sensiwave.ai) or on the new modalities of its contents with in particular the Cyberympiques® or the sectoral contents (health, local authorities, industry, retail), Conscio Technologies invests constantly in innovation in order to provide its customers with the most advanced tools and methods.

– An exceptional customer service, which not only provides support to customers on the operation of the software but also helps by advising and guiding them on the development of their awareness program and strategy.
