Beauceron Security Partners with Microsoft
On January 13, 2021, Beauceron Security partnered with Microsoft! Our partnership with Microsoft has allowed us to expand on our human-centric approach to cybersecurity with our integration of Microsoft Office365 as well as Microsoft security and compliance products. Beauceron Security has integrated valuable features such as the “report a phish” button for Outlook which is available for desktop, browser and mobile use as well as accessing your Beauceron Security personal dashboard through Microsoft Teams through both desktop and the mobile app.
Ultimately, being a Microsoft partner will help us build better integrations faster and deliver more value to our clients
Some of Our Key Integrations With Microsoft
Creating Groups
Creating Groups with Office365 is made easy by grouping people based on their attributes such as location or department. Instead of adding members individually to groups, members can be added based on attributes. When creating a new division in the Platform, simply select the group you would like to add and all members belonging to that division are automatically added through the Office365 user sync.
Single Sign-On
SSO is set up out-of-the-box for a seamless SSO experience. Administrators have the option of configuring application consent; once access is granted to users, they will be able to log in. The application uses graphing API that allows it to read users’ information and automatically create their profiles.
The Beauceron Security Advantage
Automation
Beauceron Security lets you choose what works best for your organization with content that is easily modified to fit your workplace - whether that’s automated random phishing simulations, or the ability to customize and create your own phishing simulations - the Beauceron Platform works to accommodate your cybersecurity goals. By customizing your phishes to reflect real-world cybersecurity threats your organization is facing, you can provide employees with the training needed to effectively recognize phishes and defend themselves and your organization from cybercriminals. But you don’t have to send your entire staff the same phish – all Beauceron Security packages give you the option to send tailored and personalized phishes to select individuals and departments or schedule general phishing campaigns for the entire staff.
Customizable Cybersecurity Training
No two organizations or employees are alike, which is why the Beauceron Platform provides customizable cybersecurity training that can be contextualized to fit your needs. Our out-of-the-box content provides the basic security awareness training all teams need, but you also have the choice to select additional courses from the marketplace throughout the year and assign relevant training on an individual and group level as your cybersecurity needs adapt and change.
Personal Risk Score
The Personal Risk Score is an individual’s cyber risk compass. It provides you with the information you need to improve your cybersecurity awareness by tracking if you’re headed in the right direction and rewarding that behavior. When a phish is reported, it positively decreases your personal risk score and an award is assigned to your personal dashboard which lets you can see the benefit both for your own personal cybersecurity awareness and for your company.
It also tracks where you may have strayed off course and gives you the opportunity to correct risky behavior by completing remedial training that positively impacts your personal risk score. Instead of punishing individuals who click on a phishing simulation, Beauceron Security works to educate people on their behavior and learn from it. When you fall for a phish, your personal risk score negatively increases and you receive a message that reinforces how to spot a phish in the future, but there are no long-term consequences. By completing the remedial training, you can positively decrease your personal risk score and learn from past behavior.
By applying some of the key concepts of gamification by incentivizing good security behaviors through rewards and a low personal risk score, Beauceron Security’s revolutionary approach to status and recognition-based rewards clearly contributes to cybersecurity awareness and motivates folks to care more about cybersecurity and become your organization’s best defense
Holistic Approach
We’ve fixed the key problem with traditional cybersecurity awareness by putting people first. Through connecting people and their knowledge of cybersecurity, we’re able to identify risky behavior and show folks the role they play in their organization’s defense. It's not just about understanding cybersecurity threats but knowing how to deal with them. That’s why people are at the center of cybersecurity awareness. Beauceron Security creates and sustains a positive cybersecurity environment that fosters affirmative individual behaviors and organizational security culture.
Access to the latest innovations from Microsoft will make the Beauceron Platform even more resilient while also providing the opportunity to improve the performance of the infrastructure that runs the Platform.
