AWAREWAYS only Dutch organization in ‘Now Tech: Security Awareness and Training’, the foremost overview of SA&T vendors

Research and consulting firm Forrester has published Now Tech: Security Awareness and Training, Q4 2021.

Now Tech publications highlight the value proposition, vendor segments and individual vendors operating in a maturing market, in this case the market for security awareness solutions and training worldwide. The report is an overview of 34 international players, including AWAREWAYS.

Security Awareness & Training

Organizations can use security awareness and training (SA&T) solutions to measure and manage risky behavior, improve security posture, and elevate cybersecurity culture. “But to realize these benefits, you must first choose from a diverse set of vendors that vary by size, functionality, geography and vertical market focus,” writes author Jinan Budge in her report. “Security leaders should use this report to understand the value they can expect from an SA&T vendor and to select one based on size and functionality.”

According to the report, “The days when SA&T solutions had one purpose, which was to “train” people about security, and meet perfunctory compliance regulations, are mercifully disappearing. While this remains the most human-centric market in the cybersecurity space, this human focus is no longer as simplistic as training humans.”

AWAREWAYS in Now Tech

“Some SA&T vendors are disrupting the market by shifting their human focus to measure the human risk, based on humans’ actual behaviors or sentiments about security. By doing so, they have the ability to not only train people, but demonstrate how changes in behavior reduce actual cybersecurity incidents.”

It has led to a new and updated overview of a maturing market in which AWAREWAYS evidently could not be absent.

The Human Factor

“We are proud to be a part of Forrester’s Now Tech-report for our industry”, says Geertje Veenbergen, director of AWAREWAYS. “We believe our inclusion shows that the market for SA&T solutions is truly evolving into a mature market with room for organizations like ours to focus exclusively – and with a fully holistic approach – on the human factor.”

“People are the key in creating a secure digital world, especially at a time when digital trust needs to be at the heart of every organization, right where the people are.”
