Why Keepnet exists

We exist to stop social engineering.

Our team has spent years protecting organisations: building security products, assessing defences, responding to incidents and tracking threats. Wherever we looked, one pattern kept repeating: the human element is the most common factor in breaches.2

Security awareness was meant to help. But success was measured by completed training, not by what employees actually did when an attack arrived.

We started Keepnet in London in 2017 to work on both sides: secure habits for employees, and a security culture and proactive tools for organisations. Our aim is to turn the human element into a proactive line of defence.

What we believe

Secure behaviour becomes how work gets done.Behaviour change becomes how security programmes are judged.

Forecast Gartner expects that by 2030, widely adopted control frameworks will measure behaviour change, not compliance training.4

  • Practice follows the attackerAttackers do not stay in one channel. Neither should practice.
  • Behaviour, not completionFinishing a course does not show how employees respond to an attack.

Organisations therefore need to think more broadly about risky behaviour, visibility, and resilience across the full communication landscape rather than focusing on phishing alone.
