Differentiation and Personalization in Addressing Human-Factor Cyber Risk Key to Success
York, PA – June 20, 2023 | cyberconIQ proudly announces that it has been selected as the winner of the ISG Startup Challenge at the SICE Conference held June 15, 2023. The conference, organized by ISG, brought together industry leaders, experts, and innovative startups to discuss strategies for breaking down traditional technology and organizational silos and ensuring technology investments work together seamlessly and securely in an integrated and connected enterprise.
The Secure, Intelligent, Connected Enterprise (SICE) is a new approach for the modern enterprise being advanced by ISG. When organizations securely connect their technology to the network, data and security programs, they can derive the full value from technology investments. It’s this breakthrough value that enables organizations to disrupt and excel in today’s turbulent landscape.
The ISG Startup Challenge serves as a platform for emerging startups to showcase their ground-breaking ideas, solutions, and technologies at ISG-produced events. Contestants present their solutions to an independent panel of judges and audience members vote to determine the winner. cyberconIQ, a trailblazing human cyber risk management platform, demonstrated its cutting-edge innovation and proven solutions in the Challenge, securing the prestigious victory.
The revolutionary approach to human-factors cyber risk has drawn attention for its unparalleled ability to address the prevalence of common cyber threats like ransomware, phishing, BEC and social engineering–based attacks. Customers of the cyberconIQ platform typically drive their employees’ phishing click rates to below 2 percent. The company’s commitment to leveraging its patented approach in addressing the industry’s critical cybersecurity challenges has solidified its position as a key player in driving enhanced security behaviors and culture within organizations.
Bernie Hoecker, Partner at ISG, states, “cyberconIQ differentiated themselves in the Startup Challenge by presenting a solution that addresses the human side of cybersecurity risk. People are one of the biggest risks to enterprise security, and cyberconIQ showed how it helps reduce that risk by strengthening a company’s cybersecurity culture.”
ISG formed a partnership with cyberconIQ in September 2022 to bring the benefits of cyberconIQ’s Human Defense Platform to ISG’s cybersecurity clients.
Says Dr. James Norrie, CEO:
“I want to thank ISG not only for the invitation to compete, but also for allowing us to expose our patented, proven protection message to such a wide-ranging audience. It was obvious from their reactions and votes that they see the value of our solution and the growing problem it can address to improve enterprise risk posture dramatically.”
