Stabilizing SystemsProtecting the organization from breaches
Meeting industry compliance standardsEmployee retention and team staffing
With Skill Sonar, you’ll use real-time assessment data to address concerns and create a skilled team built to defend your organization. Using skill assessment data for your teams, you quickly determine the strength of employee skills in each area.
- Secure Infrastructure
Can my organization’s infrastructure stay stable through upgrades and solve for technical debt? Can it withstand potential threats? From SMB to Enterprise teams, leaders need team members trained in technical tactics. Any skill gaps can be a vulnerability.
Skill Sonar helps you quickly look at skills across your team to identify gaps, enabling you to implement a training plan immediately. Automated training recommendations for individuals helps them stay on track with their training and level up.With real-time data, watch assessment scores rise as team members complete training and take follow-up assessments. As skill scores rise, so does the stability and security of your infrastructure! - Industry Compliance
Industry compliance standards often need to be addressed beyond general cybersecurity and networking best practices. Is your organization impacted by HIPAA Compliance, PCI DSS Compliance, or other frameworks?
Skill Sonar precisely targets skill sets based on your team’s individual testing results - resulting in you being able to assess compliant KSAs. An ideal outcome would show that your team already knows everything they need to meet compliance standards. The reality is that most team members will have development opportunities - which means you may not be efficiently meeting compliance standards.Skill Sonar targets learning and upskilling opportunities for your team to meet and exceed technical standards. - Employee Retention
Staffing a technical team is complex - adding in challenges of a talent shortage, budget constraints, and evolving threats, employee retention is critical to your team.
