As CISO I must make countless decisions: which measures do I take now, which measures do I take later, what should I prioritize? You want to make well-founded decisions, based on substantiated factual information.

Before I started working with Passguard, I had limited information about leaked data. Thus, I had to sift through countless reports to get an idea of the bigger picture. The problem with those kinds of reports is the generic nature and never a specific mention of us as an organization.

This is precisely why I am so content that Passguard allows me to note what I could not note before. This has resulted in better decision-making and a stronger rationale for making decisions. This contributes to our broader cyber strategy of making fact-based decisions. Specifically, the intelligence from Passguard allowed us to tweak the right security measures and to accelerate where needed, but to slow down where we could.

The great element is that I get to see concrete and factual figures from Passguard – e.g. how focused a threat actor's attention is on our organization - not only on a definite scale,  but as a benchmark between similar organizations. This helps me in convincing stakeholders. It makes my life as a CISO easier.
