Security awareness training that employees actually complete
Dear journalist,
My name is Joeri van de Watering, co-founder and CEO of Guardey. Before Guardey, we built GOOSE VPN, a Dutch consumer VPN we launched in 2016. That taught us one thing: the weakest link in cybersecurity is rarely the technology. It is the moment someone clicks.
We founded Guardey in 2022 to change that moment. Guardey is a security awareness training and phishing simulation platform. Employees train in short, gamified challenges of three minutes a week, and organisations test and measure how their people respond to realistic phishing. More than 500 organisations use Guardey, from small teams to large organisations such as the European Parliament, with training tailored to their sector and to regulations such as NIS2.
On this page you will find background on Guardey, our management team and our latest press release. For questions, interviews or data on how employees respond to phishing, contact us at [email protected].
Sincerely,

Joeri van de Watering

Why Guardey exists
Most incidents start with a human action: a click, a reused password, a convincing phone call. AI makes those attacks cheaper and more convincing every month.
We created Guardey so every organisation, whatever its size or sector, can turn its employees from a security risk into part of its defence.
