We would like to thank Beauceron Security for hosting a special Reception and Dinner at our 2025 Cambridge Forum on Canadian Cyber Security.
About Beauceron Security
Beauceron was founded by security practitioners who, while running their security program for their organization, noticed the impact that motivation had on people had on their subsequent results. When people knew they played an important role and, most importantly, cared accordingly, real incident and repeat incidents dropped across the organization.
We all know we don’t have a security awareness problem anymore. People have never been more aware of cybersecurity as a problem.
It’s not about Security Awareness and Training (SAT) – it’s about creating a Security Behavior and Culture Program (SBCP) that motivates people to make good decisions about technology so they can reduce their risk and thrive in a digital world.
The results? They speak for themselves. If a team member strongly agrees they play an important part in protecting the organization from cyber threats, they are 50% less likely to click on phishing emails. Measuring and changing perceptions can be done through a continuous, positive interaction. Using a positive gamified experience can reduce phishing email click rate by 34%.
Beauceron Security is proud to serve over 1,200 customers around the world with world-class channel providers.
We provide solutions for:
- Email Analysis & Feedback
- Fraud Prevention
- Anti-Phishing & Education
