Beauceron began in 2015 when a group of cybersecurity experts tasked with protecting the University of New Brunswick decided to try a new approach to measuring, managing and monitoring cyber risk.
In their roles at the University of New Brunswick, one of North America's oldest English-language public universities, they had to balance the often competing priorities of openness and security in a highly challenging environment that was constantly under siege.
Working tirelessly, they were able to help lead efforts improve organizational member cyber awareness as well as develop and implement a comprehensive overhaul of its cybersecurity technology architecture.
Working together with a growing cyber aware and caring community, they were able to keep the university safe despite ever-increasing threats.
Collectively, the team and the community were able to reduce the organization phishing response rate from one in three to one in 20.
It wasn't easy.
The Beauceron founders realized there was a gap in the kinds of easy-to-use, fast to deploy and integrated tools they needed to further their gains and sustain the security benefits they had developed over time.
