How are you different from KnowBe4 or any other platform?
We don’t rely solely on security awareness training and template phishing simulations to protect your employees. We use automated OSINT to assess digital vulnerabilities of each team member and proactively help them remove exposed details from data brokers, unused accounts and even address dark web data leaks. This personalized approach drives employee engagement in best cybersecurity practices and reduces potential attack surface instead of just training staff to know better.
What are AI Phishing simulations?
Our genAI model uses actual employee details that are visible on the Web to automatically construct the most realistic attack simulations to each team member based on their individual exposure. Whether it is interests, locations, specific online services and more, our AI takes into account every detail to mimic how real hackers would analyze and attack each individual in the company. No need for complex setups, everything is done with the click of a button.
Are you compliant with data privacy regulations globally?
Yes, Brightside AI is fully compliant with all data privacy regulations and does not share employee personal details found online with anyone. Even company security admins only get anonymized aggregated view of data and reasons behind certain individual vulnerabilities (i.e. sensitive details are found online, personal accounts are linked to a work email, etc.).
How long does it take to start using Brightside AI with all the features?
Brightside AI does not require any integration in the internal systems to start being useful. You can upload a list of employees with their full names and work emails and digital footprint scan will begin automatically. Attack simulations can also be launched immediately after uploading the employee list. Each employee will receive onboarding communications from us, helping them get the most value out of the system. You can also immediately assign security awareness courses, which are gamified, bite-sized modules focused on real examples and practice rather than boring theory that everyone skips. To start using AI and template attack simulations, a simple whitelisting process is needed. It doesn't take more than 10 minutes and clear instructions are provided in the platform.
Can digital footprint monitoring focus just on senior leaders while all employees get security training?
Yes, Brightside AI is fully modular. You can set up full digital footprint scans for a subset of most important individuals in the company, while enrolling everyone into yearly security awareness program and automatically testing all or a group of individuals with AI-powered and template phishing simulations.
Can you explain how you scan for digital footprints on the web?
We scan all the Web (dark web and clear web) for all the traces of individual digital footprints. We run an automated OSINT engine to do the search, which reaches into dark web databases, data brokers, individual social media activity and more. This approach allows to automatically scan all team members for any and all digital vulnerabilities they might have and help them take action for better personal and corporate security.
What can you do with discovered data vulnerabilities?
If any data considered as a vulnerability was identified, Brightside AI proactively removes it from data brokers and works with individuals to remove it from unused accounts, while for the dark web we provide actionable insights on how to stay more secure since the breach has already happened.
