Considering the value of information security, a software company enlisted Cognician's help to guide staff towards a more data security-focused mindset.

Cognician developed a series of 20 challenges, called the [*Security Maturity Quest*](https://info.cognician.com/security-maturity-quest), for the company to run over a six-week period. Each challenge was created to make users more aware of potential security risks, offer tips for online and device security and overall, create a more security-first atmosphere across the business.

Download this resource to learn more about the *Security Maturity Quest* and how it:

- activated employees to reduce or eliminate security vulnerabilities;
- gauged the overall security knowledge of the company; and
- encouraged users to immediately put new security behaviors into action.
