Target Actual Behaviours.
Mitigate Real Risks.
Protect Your Business With Data-Driven Human Risk Management.

Are your go-to cyber safety programs falling short?
Perhaps you’re up against these limitations of old-school security awareness programs:
Unfocused: Everyone in the office completes the same e-learning program, regardless of their role, risk exposure, or prior knowledge.
Unspecific: security training doesn’t account for the organisation’s threat landscape, existing technical controls, or maturity level.
Unrealistic: employees receive training that contradicts or ignores existing company policies.
Drive meaningful change effectively with risk-based, intel-driven strategies.
Scientifically Validated,
Data-Powered Cyber Safety
Cybercriminals often take advantage of human errors to compromise systems and data, resulting in significant financial damages for a business. The chances of these cyber incidents can be reduced with the right interventions to mitigate human behavioural risks.
And yet, when it comes to human risks, organisations often rely on guesswork to guide critical security decisions. There’s a better way with our proven, holistic approach to Human Risk Management that pinpoints real vulnerabilities and measures results.

Modern Strategies To Mitigate Modern Threats
Simply checking off compliance requirements isn’t enough to defend against today’s advanced threat actors. Northwave’s cyber safety programs are constantly fine-tuned based on the experiences of our cyberattack response teams and our comprehensive cyber threat intelligence.
We ensure you address the three critical factors for a strong human firewall: activated leadership, a security-optimised environment, and a skilled workforce.
Leadership
Organisational leaders have the power and responsibility to influence change and exemplify cyber safety. Activate leaders to fill their cyber security roles and perform them well.
Landscape
Rules, policies and digital systems can promote or hinder cyber safe behaviour. Discover what’s keeping your organisation from building a stronger human firewall.

FUNKE Media Group
Only a few hours after the attack, the Northwave experts were here at our offices - this was extremely important for all of us, because we knew then that we were not alone in dealing with the problem.
Today, we train the entire workforce on secure passwords and phishing emails. Trained end users are the best firewalls for attacks. And, of course, we are investing significantly more in the topic of IT security. To defend against unavoidable attacks, we permanently rely on 24/7 monitoring by Northwave's experts.

Rödl & Partner
Rödl & Partner cannot - as no company can't, if we are honest - manage its IT security amidst daily changing threat risks and attack patterns all by itself with on-board resources. We need a strong partner to permanently secure our global data traffic, identify threats and protect our systems. Northwave is an indispensable support for this.

I appreciate it when Northwave's external experts look independently, like a second pair of eyes, at our processes and measures. That's why we rely on Northwave's SOC. Northwave's security experts provide me with peace of mind and additional security in operations, so I know that everything is at least double-checked and continuously monitored. This frees up our IT teams. In addition to the SOC, Northwave's Security Office provides us with many advantages. Everyone in the group can call on the experts for help with security issues, from questions to incident handling. In addition to technical measures, Northwave also assisted with our company's TISAX certification.

What Clients Say About Our Cyber Behaviour Programs
“The ‘How to be a human firewall’ workshops by Northwave were not only fun and engaging but also very practical and sparked thought-provoking discussions amongst our colleagues. It was eye-opening to learn about the methods used by cyber criminals and how quickly they can crack passwords. The insights opened up a whole new world of cyber safety for us, making our investment into the trainings truly invaluable. Practical tools were also shared to help everyone cultivate cyber safe behaviour.”

Woonbron Craftsmen, 2024 workshop participants
Woonbron
"The workshop Leadership in Cyber Security increased the urgency for cyber security, in particular recognising and reporting phishing
e-mails. Our leaders felt a sense of urgency, due to the discussions in the session and came up with concrete actions they can take to motivate their teams. They now have the tools they need to be
ambassadors for cybersecurity within our organisation."

Lars Cronenberg, Manager IT Governance, Risk & Compliance
Volkswagen Pon Financial Services
"Northwave developed a custom workshop for VWPFS that addressed our biggest cyber risks and that was effective. The leadership toolkit we shared with our leaders after the workshop also provided concrete tips and materials that were instrumental in advancing this topic within our company."
