However, although companies recognize the importance of awareness content, very few manage to effectively deploy solutions adapted to their teams’ specific needs. In fact, as much as awareness is a priority, choosing the most suitable tool remains a challenge. Companies are confronted to a diverse range of options, from standardized online training to interactive and personalized tools.

A radar of +100 cybersecurity awareness solutions

In an environment where cybersecurity awareness is becoming a priority, the awareness solutions radar proves to be a strategic ally for companies. This tool provides a clear and structured view of available solutions, helping organizations identify the ones best suited to their needs.

A decision-making tool

The radar provides a comprehensive overview of options available and helps assess the size of the market. Thanks to the radar, companies can quickly identify high-performing and innovative solutions, while also distinguishing essential ones. To achieve this, the solutions have been grouped into 7 categories:

1. Maturity Assessment: Solutions offering robust cybersecurity maturity and human risk evaluation tools, going beyond reports or questionnaires
2. E-learning: Solutions providing a variety of structured learning modules
3. Technical Training: Solutions specifically designed for technical audiences (cybersecurity teams, IT, developers, etc.)
4. AI: Solutions based on artificial intelligence tools
5. Chatbot: Solutions integrating an interactive conversational agent
6. Phishing: Solutions specialized in phishing attack simulations, distinct from e-learning modules covering the topic.
7. Games: Solutions focused on gamification, offering engaging cybersecurity awareness activities.

This radar aims to provide a condensed view of our benchmark and is not a ranking. It is a curated selection based on several criteria, including company size, market presence (primarily in France), and our expert evaluation. We have intentionally limited the number of solutions presented to ensure a clear and strategic overview.

The selection favors French solutions, in line with our client base, while also including a few relevant international players. Additionally, only solutions whose core offer is product-oriented, rather than consulting services, have been included, to ensure a product-focused approach.

A benchmark for a tailored solution

The radar is based on a benchmark of over +100 solutions available on the market, providing a comprehensive overview of the cybersecurity awareness solutions’ ecosystem.

The benchmark is designed to guide your selection towards the most suitable solution. Companies fill in their criteria to generate a refined list of options: types of content (phishing, passwords, social engineering, etc.), types of formats (quizzes, videos, chatbot, e-learning, etc.), availability and flexibility of the solution, target population, price, languages, etc. This process helps avoid arbitrary choices and ensures the selection of a solution that is truly aligned with awareness challenges and objectives.

Thus, without trying to be exhaustive, the radar offers a wide range of options to best meet your organization’s needs.

Integration process into the benchmark

The process of integrating a solution into the benchmark is intended to be straightforward. Once a solution is identified, it is analyzed and sorted based on specific criteria, along with feedbacks from our Wavestone consultants. In addition, meetings with solution providers allow us to refine our analysis through demonstrations and the collection of additional information.

As such, a solution with a clear and intuitive interface, offering transcriptions in multiple languages, and covering a wide range of topics (phishing, cloud, chatbot, etc.) in an innovative way will be particularly relevant. If it also receives positive feedback from our consultants, it will have a strong chance of being included in the radar.

The benchmark and its radar also come with detailed presentations of certain solutions. Thanks to our expertise and strong convictions regarding awareness, some solutions deemed relevant have detailed profiles that include a more precise overview of the interface and expert opinions, enriched by discussions with vendors. These presentations not only help select the most suitable tool but also highlight often more effective yet lesser-known alternatives.

Why launch the “Women Entrepreneurs in Tech” award?

The goal of the “Women Entrepreneurs in Tech” award is to highlight a female director or founder of a startup or scale-up. In particular, we’re looking for B2B or B2B2C startups with strong innovation potential that Shake’Up could support in their development.

By launching this ‘Women Entrepreneurs in Tech’ award, the Shake’Up teams wanted to highlight the firm’s technological DNA and contribute to its CSR commitment regarding gender equality”, explains Mathilde Peyret, co-lead of the firm’s Shake’Up asset.

To ensure the best possible sourcing, in addition to the startups and scale-ups in our database (from our Radars, Calls for Projects and Vivatech Screening), we will be relying on our various partners (BPI, France Digitale…) as well as the vast network of Les Echos newspaper. And, of course, your suggestions!

A 1st edition dedicated to cyber

For this first edition, we’ve decided to focus on the theme of cybersecurity, on a European perimeter (see precise criteria at the bottom of the article). Noëmie Honoré, head of Wavestone’s Belgian office, and very committed to the theme of “Women in Cyber”, was a natural choice to sponsor this initiative alongside Charlie Perreau, head of the Tech-Médias-Start-up department at Les Echos.

The winner will be selected by a jury comprising two members of Wavestone (Gérôme Billois and Noémie Honoré) and two key journalists from Les Echos (Charlie Perreau and Florian Debes). They will assess the quality of the project, the relevance of the solution for market needs, and the suitability of the startup/scale-up in terms of the support it could receive from Shake’ Up.

The award ceremony will take place on March 5 at Wavestone’s offices in La Défense, in the presence of the firm’s partners and associations from the world of cyber. One of the five finalists invited for the occasion will be awarded the prize.

Award selection criteria

The prize will be awarded to a (co)founder or (co)director of a European cyber startup or scale-up (Europe in the geographical sense).

Startups and scale-ups must be headquartered in Europe, and sales of security products must represent at least 50% of their turnover.

Startups must be less than 7 years old and have fewer than 35 employees.

Scale-ups must meet at least one of the following two financial conditions:

– either have received financing over 3 years by raising funds of at least €10M in one go.

– or have sales of at least €2.5M and annual growth in excess of 25% over the last 3 fiscal years.

This financial condition must be coupled with a consolidated workforce of less than 250 employees.

If the company is linked to another (over 25% shareholding), this consolidation is the combination of its own workforce and:

– If the holding is between 25% and 50%, the workforce of the holding company is added on a pro rata basis.

– If the holding exceeds 50%, the full workforce of the holding company is added.
