Introduction to Avant de Cliquer

Before You Click, a French company

Avant de Cliquer is a French company founded in 2017. It specializes in raising awareness about cybersecurity, with a particular focus on social engineering attacks (phishing, vishing, smishing, qrishing, etc.).

The goal of Avant de Cliquer is to reduce the human risks associated with cyberattacks by offering solutions tailored to the needs of businesses, organizations, government agencies, and local authorities.

This SaaS (Software as a Service) solution stands out for its accessibility, which aims to make cybersecurity understandable to everyone. The goal is to foster a culture of cybersecurity within organizations.

People at the Heart of Cybersecurity

The solution proposed by Avant de Cliquer is based on raising awareness and training users.

The goal? To reduce the risk of cyberattacks by a factor of 10 through an innovative and adaptable methodology focused on active and continuous learning:

• Phishing Penetration Test to Assess Vulnerabilities: Prior to deploying the solution, a phishing penetration test is conducted over a one-week period. The results are analyzed and presented during a video conference, allowing for an assessment of the overall maturity of the organization and its users at the start of the project.
• Automation to save time: The solution is fully automated, freeing up CIOs, CISOs, and executives from day-to-day management tasks. The process runs autonomously while providing complete visibility into the results.
• Detailed tracking via the admin dashboard: An intuitive dashboard allows managers to view individual and team performance. They can track users’ skill development and adjust awareness-raising efforts as needed.
• Personalized and adaptive learning: Each email is tailored by an algorithm that takes into account the user’s level of awareness regarding phishing attempts. This personalization enables employees to progress in a way that is both tailored to their needs and effective.
• Dedicated e-learning platform: Employees have access to an online learning platform where they can deepen their knowledge of cybersecurity. The platform offers interactive modules and a variety of resources to enhance their understanding of threats and best practices.
• Email-integrated alert tool: The "Avant de Cliquer" solution includes the installation of a phishing alert button that is directly accessible within users' email clients. This tool allows them to immediately report suspicious attempts, thereby enhancing the organization's ability to respond to potential breaches.

With its solution, Avant de Cliquer helps organizations reduce their exposure to digital threats by placing the human factor at the heart of their cybersecurity strategy.
