You just turn it on, and it does the work for you. No big roll-out. No user training needed. It’s one less thing we have to worry about.

Peter Messervy-Gross, CIO at LGL Group

Tessian was so easy to deploy and has been
incredibly low-maintenance. It’s not a tool we have to worry about keeping up and running from an infrastructure perspective. It’s one less thing the security team has to worry about.

Minesh Nana, data loss prevention manager at Rand Merchant Bank

We can now identify users whose behavior could put us at risk, whether it’s via misdirected emails, unauthorised emails, or spear phishing attacks. This all helps massively with incident response since our security and compliance teams do not have limitless resources.
