We believe People are the key to effective information security
At Behaav, we believe that People are the key to effective information security, because a people-centric approach addresses the root-cause of all information security challenges.
That’s why we help businesses create sustainable security awareness and behavior.
We do this by leveraging a proprietary methodology that assesses knowledge, awareness and behavior; provides highly tailored education; improves skill through simulation; and reduces risk through behavioral change campaigns.
Technology alone incapable of effectively securing information
85%
of global security budgets are invested in technology
> 90%
of attacks leverage human error to succeed
< 1%
of investments are related to people
