Whalemate team
CTO & Co-founder
Platform architect and responsible for technical development. Combines product engineering with security expertise.
Smishing is growing on mobile channels while PCI DSS v4.0 requires annual awareness training and explicit phishing and social engineering content.
NIST, UC San Diego, Frontiers, Verizon and SANS agree that annual training alone is not enough. The useful metric is sustained behavior.
ISO calls for a continuous program for all employees, NIST and SANS make it measurable, and Verizon shows the risk happens in seconds.
Whalemate frames security awareness as Human Risk Management, not a standalone course. CIS, NIST, SANS, and recent studies show mixed results.
