Overview
Riot Security provides an all-in-one security platform designed to protect a company’s data and operations. It combines technical safeguards with an employee-focused education program, recognizing that people are a key part of security. The platform is easy to use and is deployed by over 400 companies, backed by a 97% employee approval rating, which suggests strong user engagement in security practices. The main differentiator is its emphasis on employee engagement and satisfaction, actively involving staff in the security process rather than treating security as purely IT controls. The goal is to help organizations keep data and systems secure by combining effective protections with high participation from employees.
