    • Organizations invest a lot of money in technology to protect their environment from cyber-attacks. With the rising cyber threats, it is proven that technology alone cannot guarantee a threat free environment. If technology was the only savior, then the leading organizations with the most advance technology controls for cyber would never be in the news for cyber security breach.

  5. Can you shed some light on your engagement methodology?
    • We at Joushen believe that a true integration of people, process & technology is mandatory for an organization to stay ahead of threats. Only technology or process is not enough, people are also a core part of the cyber security equitation and they need to be involved and empowered.
    • As a consulting driven organization, we engage with our customers to assess their current state of security awareness & phishing readiness. We do this by reviewing their current practices for security against the best practices from SANS or any other international standard. Once we know the baseline, we develop the awareness framework which includes the details about the content to be published to end users, what channels will be used, what is the frequency of content sharing, how the follow up is to be done, what are the KPI’ and how the results to be presented to the management.
