Living Security offers immersive cyber security training through an ‘escape room’ experience. 🏃
The company’s main goals are to reduce cyber risk through impactful, human-focused experiences and form a cybersecurity awareness foundation in users.
The WSU team helped to digitize existing security awareness training and developed the first 100% remote, cyber security human risk management platform. We made it available for 1000+ organizations around the world, to help them train employees on good cyber habits and secure hygiene. Living Security also got attention from various media sources: Techcrunch, Crunchbase, Statesman, SecurityWeek.
“WeSoftYou has worked diligently to understand our goals“
“I’ve managed a number of outsourcing relationships in my career, and they’ve really stood out to me. WeSoftYou has worked diligently to understand our goals.
Based on this understanding, they’ve morphed their practices to fit our needs. WSY team work has directly contributed to our revenue growth. We’ve grown our company by about 300% over the past 18 months, which we wouldn’t have been able to do without their support.
Their team has delivered an average of 4.1 weekly commits, which outpaces the industry average of 3.5. Additionally, they’ve helped us increase our code coverage from 20% to 50%.
On an organizational level and an employee-specific level, their responsiveness is unmatched within their industry. They can quickly find both potential problems and legitimate solutions.“
