Leveraging an organisation’s existing security stack, IT/security professionals can configure their real-time coaching campaigns to immediately deliver a SecurityTip to their users related to a detected event.
The findings from the top 10 risky behaviours of employees that organisations have detected by integrating SecurityCoach with their existing security offerings include:
- Entertainment domain/streaming services
- Gaming website
- Greymail
- Adult website
- Unauthorized or malicious application
- Risky website detected
