BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Our Client is a highly regarded girl’s leadership program that reaches over 31,000 girls in the greater New York area. Their mission is to create an environment that builds courage, confidence, and character in young girls.
The client needed to establish a stronger security orientated mindset in order to better protect the organization and their members from digital threats.

- Creation of specific scenarios to help organization detect and respond to social engineering attacks.
- Cybersecurity training documentation the organization can reference and incorporate into their new employee training.
