Cyber Security Awareness and Human Risk Management Leader SoSafe Launches in Australia

Published

March 4, 2025

By leveraging behavioural science and learning psychology, SoSafe effectively trains users on cybersecurity, with the ultimate goal of strengthening self-defence in a digital and connected world.SoSafe was founded in 2018 and it has quickly become the world’s fastest growing scale-up in cyber security awareness and human risk management.

SYDNEY, March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SoSafe, a leading provider of security awareness training and human risk management, has today announced its Australia launch, bringing its human-centric approach to cybersecurity to Australian businesses. As Australian firms continue to be battered by cybercrime, this latest expansion is a result of identifying an urgent need for a better approach to mitigating human-related security risks locally.

By using behavioural science and learning psychology, SoSafe helps security leaders make cybersecurity training simple, engaging, and effective — helping people recognise risks faster and take smarter actions effortlessly. It also makes sure security teams can manage their human risk by turning AI into their ally and using data-driven insights to make smarter security decisions. The ultimate goal is to create security cultures among organisations where safe behaviours become second nature – like looking both ways before crossing the street.

According to the Australian Signals Directorate’s Annual Cyber Threat Report, one cybercrime was reported every six minutes on average in FY24. Concerningly, large businesses continue to be impacted by cyberattacks, while an average self-reported cybercrime costs $63,600.

Importantly, human error breaches accounted for a third of total breaches (30%) while 12% of all breaches were caused by phishing. However, such attacks can be avoided by increasing the awareness of cyber threats among employees.

As part of the launch, SoSafe has appointed Jacqueline Jayne as Advocate for Human-Centric Security. A leading expert in the Australian market, Jacqueline has helped numerous companies strengthen their security culture and programs by raising awareness of the human element of cybersecurity and protecting individuals online.

Jacqueline said, “With the pace of cybercriminal innovation outpacing our collective ability to respond, true protection requires more than tools and compliance — it demands a shift in behaviour and a culture of security awareness. The best defence against cyber threats is informed and empowered people. My goal is to make sure Australians have the confidence, context, and knowledge to stay safe online.”

Niklas Hellemann, co-founder and CEO of SoSafe said, “The Australia expansion represents a major milestone for us. Given that we already work with global businesses with operations in Australia, we have deep insights into the challenges they face as cyberattacks become more sophisticated and prevalent. We are committed to providing a powerful solution for Australian businesses that not only engages employees, but actively strengthens cybersecurity at every level of an organisation.

Andrew Rose, Chief Security Officer of SoSafe commented, “Cybersecurity often focuses on technology, while attackers prefer exploiting the human element. SoSafe takes a different approach – combining behavioural science with real-world insights to empower people as the first line of defence. Our platform gives security leaders the visibility and tools to seamlessly integrate awareness into daily operations – not through fear, but with confidence.”

Headquartered in Cologne, Germany, SoSafe supports over 5,500 companies in 37 countries, helping them strengthen the security awareness of thousands of employees and build a sustainable security culture. SoSafe currently has offices in Cologne, Amsterdam, Berlin, Chemnitz, Dublin, London, Paris, Lisbon, Munich, and now, Sydney.

SoSafe has also recently been recognised as a Strong Performer in the inaugural Forrester Wave™: Human Risk Management Solutions, Q3 2024 report, led by Australian based Forrester’s Vice President, Research Director, International Security and Risk Research, Jinan Budge, highlighting its strong market position and strategy.

New Study Reveals Retail Security Measures Are Driving Customers Away

DALBAR and Competitor IQ survey of 500 North American shoppers uncovers a costly tension between loss prevention and the customer experience

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DALBAR, Inc. and its division Competitor IQ today released the 2026 Retail Security and Loss Prevention Study, a survey of 500 U.S. and Canadian consumers on how loss prevention strategies affect the retail shopping experience. The findings reveal a significant tension between security and convenience — one that is already costing retailers sales.

38%
of shoppers have abandoned a purchase due to in-store security measures

Key Findings

Security Measures Are Pushing Shoppers Out the Door
A significant share of respondents report abandoning purchases due to security-related friction. Locked merchandise cabinets and access restrictions are the leading causes — and the full study breaks down exactly which measures are driving customers away.

Locked Merchandise Is the Biggest Pain Point
Many customers say locked displays negatively impact their shopping experience. Many feel mistrusted and will leave rather than wait — and the data shows a clear link to lost revenue that retailers cannot afford to ignore.

Safety Matters, But Rarely Drives Store Choice
Most shoppers already feel a baseline level of security when they enter a store. The study reveals which measures build customer confidence — and which ones backfire by sending shoppers online instead.

Customers Want Technology, Not Barriers
A strong majority believe AI and surveillance technology can better balance loss prevention with convenience. The full study includes detailed breakdowns of customer preferences by age, income, and retail category.

“Retailers are caught in a difficult position: theft is rising, but the measures used to combat it are alienating the honest shoppers they need to retain. The path forward lies in smarter, less intrusive security — and the data shows exactly what that looks like.”
— DALBAR / Competitor IQ Research Team

When Customers See Theft Happen In-Store…
Most say they would shop there less often or stop visiting entirely.
Only a small share reports no change in behavior. The reputational cost of visible theft is significant — and quantified in the full report.

About the Study
The 2026 Retail Security and Loss Prevention Study was conducted by DALBAR, Inc. and Competitor IQ in April 2026, surveying 500 consumers across the United States and Canada. The full report includes detailed findings by demographic, retail category, and security measure type — with actionable recommendations for loss prevention teams.
