Customer Reference on our IT Security TrainingsChristoph Monigadon
CISO/CSO at Visana Services AG, Bern
«Modern cyber-attacks exploit not only technical but also organizational vulnerabilities, including aspects of physical security and human behavior. Only those who are aware of these attacks can counter them intelligently.
Compass Security's attractively designed awareness campaigns raise awareness of such attacks. The many real-life case studies inspire our employees, and my experience shows that they talk more openly about security issues after the training courses. They are more engaged with these issues and more committed to safe behavior in the workplace.
With these sustainable awareness measures, we are creating a strong security culture within the company.»
