Think about your door locks and your cyber security – they have a lot in common – small errors like an unlocked door or a careless click are regular disasters for many! Two Finnish companies have become natural partners! iLOQ, a global maker of digital locks, and Cult Security, the developer of CyberCoach,have found one another.
iLOQ makes smart and secure digital locks for buildings. They transformed mechanical locks into flexible digital and mobile locks. They have patented energy-harvesting technology with self-powered digital locking and NFC-enabled mobile access management solutions. These solutions offer electronic locking without batteries or cables. They operate in more than 30 countries with more than 10 million iLOQ locks and keys worldwide.
Cult Security has developed CyberCoach, a 3-in-1 solution that provides interactive scenario-based training while supporting employees in security issues and helping the security team to communicate more effectively with employees.
Security policies are an imperative for all and no matter how good the policies or software protection, it is the end user that most often remains as crucial link in the chain to stop security breaches.
CyberCoach provides employees from all skill levels practical and role-relevant training, 24/7 support and instructions all in one place. CyberCoach keeps cyber security staff aware of breaches in real time as well as not revealing employees’ names, so there is a lower threshold for getting help.
iLOQ currently has a sales organization in 16 country subsidiaries, with over 1,800 partner locations globally, and operates in more than 30 countries. There are more than 10 million iLOQ locks and keys in use worldwide.
Why does iLOQ work with CyberCoach?
iLOQ’s personnel goal is to provide continual support in daily working lives, with collective responsibility supported by encouraging individuals to think like entrepreneurs. Their safe and inclusive working environment prioritizes raising awareness and reinforcing secure behaviours, ensuring a thriving and empowered team.
iLOQ team members are not only equipped to implement security in their own work, but are also empowered to deliver enhanced security, flexibility, and convenience to the end users of their solutions. This commitment is reinforced by their holistic 360° approach to environmental, social, and ESG factors, where employees’ security expertise plays a pivotal role.
To further enhance its security culture, iLOQ leverages CyberCoach, that effectively strengthens security awareness while requiring minimal personal and confidential user data. Given that security is iLOQ’s core business, the company prioritizes providing employees with a psychologically safe environment to develop critical skills tailored to the diverse roles within the organization.
