NINJIO Identified as a Top Human Risk Management Solution

September 25, 2024

NINJIO has been identified as a leading Human Risk Management (HRM) solution in the recently published Forrester Wave™: Human Risk Management Solutions Q3 2024 report. This recognition from Forrester Research highlights the evolving landscape of cybersecurity awareness training, focusing on changing behaviors and promoting security culture through technology-driven micro-interventions.

As a pure-play, specialized Cybersecurity Awareness Training provider, NINJIO’s inclusion in the Forrester HRM Wave report underscores our growing presence in the market and the high quality of our specialized offerings. We are honored to be featured among broader cybersecurity solutions, marking a significant milestone for us.

Managing Human Risk 

The Forrester Human Risk Management Solutions report agrees with NINJIO that the time for tick-the-box training has passed, writing that “satisfying requirements for security awareness training is a secondary use case for human risk management solutions while the focus stays on changing behaviors and promoting security culture.” In fact, this was the foundational insight behind NINJIO when we began nine years ago.
Improving risky human behavior is the sole focus of NINJIO’s solution in a way only a truly specialized solution can provide. Our proven methodology, which our clients roundly praise, relies on meeting the learners where they are and serving personalized training material that drives behavior change. That’s how we get to the heart of solving the human factor problem behind two-thirds of breaches.

According to the Forrester HRM Wave report, “NINJIO is known for its engaging content,” the report reads, and strives to deliver “a pragmatic, customer-focused product.” It’s in that spirit of pragmatism that we’ve expanded our offering in ways that we believe will actually work and deliver results for our clients very quickly. Our behavioral science-based training, NINJIO SENSE, uses data gathered from sophisticated phishing simulations to personalize the content stream for each user. Hence, they receive the training they need based on their unique emotional vulnerabilities. Because social engineering is a human attempt to manipulate human emotions, the best defense goes beyond traditional policy-based notifications on a device. It’s building stronger human intuition.

NINJIO has been told directly by security practitioners that a solution that generates proprietary data and uses that data to prescribe personalized training leads to better outcomes more quickly and at a lower cost. In fact, 91% of our clients report a stronger security posture after just eight months of using NINJIO’s HRM solution. We strive to meet the needs of today’s professionals who sit on the front lines of cyber defense in an evolving threat landscape.

Forrester’s HRM Solutions report concludes, “Organizations that want to engage their learners via excellent content should seek NINJIO.” This recognition affirms our commitment to creating effective, engaging, and practical cybersecurity training solutions.
