Soapbox Security was founded by two experienced security professionals, who previously worked at leading multinationals. There we discovered our great passion: the development of security metrics.
We discovered that there was little or no measurement within cybersecurity. When we did start measuring, it led to an unprecedented improvement within a short period of time.
Some companies invest in security tools, but there is no measurement of the extent to which they contribute to a better security posture.
In other companies, the problem is that security teams fail to communicate effectively about security, so that the necessary investments are difficult to defend or not made at all.
And sometimes it's a combination.
This is what Soapbox Security stands for. Stop managing security from the gut, and fear of what might happen, start measuring and communicating the facts.
Soapbox Security will help you get on your soapbox!
