Research, guides and category thinking on Behavioral Defense.
A study by CIO / CSO / Computerwoche, based on 324 interviews with senior IT decision-makers across DACH, shows how NIS2 is reshaping the way organisations think about cybersecurity. But compliance and actual resilience are still far apart.
CYBERDISE Freemium is a free tool for phishing simulations that also lets you train your employees with cybersecurity courses. You can edit all templates and adapt them to your specific needs.
Microsoft Defender Attack Simulator is included with E5 licenses, and several German and Swiss mid-sized companies have let their awareness vendor contracts expire to rely on it instead. Organizations that genuinely care about attentive, well-sensitized employees are not well served by it.
Behavior-oriented awareness measures success by observable change in risk behavior, not by knowledge completion, positive feedback scores or course consumption. It treats employees as human decision systems – not as information storage units.
An entire industry often offers customers products and services with little benefit. In the cybersecurity awareness market, they often do not aim to change behavior.
The CYBERDISE Freemium Edition is a free phishing tool and learning environment: technically speaking, an attack simulator and a lean LMS with a content editor and user management. Here are the answers on what it includes, what it needs to run and where its limitations are.
We provide a free solution for phishing simulations and cybersecurity training. Our motivation is about effectiveness, the market and our own standards – and marketing is not the primary purpose, but a side effect.
Cyberdise V3.0 and higher offers two new features, the Email Threat Agent and Automated Incident Feedback. These two features turn every reported email into a measurable security measure, not just a forwarded message.
CYBERDISE 3.0 contains significant new functionality in AI phishing, LMS and training, threat reporting and message analysis, and even architectural enhancements. Here are the features we love most, and why.
Our internal selection committee quickly reached consensus on who should receive this award: the University of Osnabrück. It receives the “Awareness Customer of the Year 2026” award for the exemplary implementation of CYBERDISE in an on-premise configuration.
In 2025, CYBERDISE won 10 new partners and 400,000 new users under license, yet missed its targets by a significant margin. Only conversations with colleagues showed that what the team achieved in 2025 was extraordinary.
Attitude and behavior are related, but they are not the same. Confusing them is one of the main reasons why many awareness programs fail to deliver lasting risk reduction.
