Overwhelmed by selecting security awareness and phishing simulation vendors?

This session delivers a project management-driven approach to confidently navigate the process, ensuring stronger security programs and a resilient organization. We'll transform chaotic vendor selection into an effective project, covering:

- Functional Requirements: Defining your organization's unique needs.

- Demo Testing: Evaluating demonstrations and identifying red flags.

- User Acceptance Testing (UAT/POC): Designing scenarios and measuring platform performance.

- Acquisition: Negotiating contracts and managing implementation.

Attendees will gain a repeatable methodology (including an evaluation grid), skills to define requirements, execute effective POCs, mitigate selection risks, and apply practical project management principles.
