Cost transparency has improved and finance and IT now share detailed TCO insights
I am mostly concerned about the development side. The development side is very user-friendly, so I would not say there are major factors that the product needs improvement in. However, sometimes with the number of users using the system, there might be a lag in system performance. There might be some slowness for the report to load. If a more significant number of users are consolidating on a single report and that single report has not been promoted to production yet, there is a possibility that it could take some time to load. That is the only challenge I have experienced as a developer.

Targeted phishing simulations have strengthened employee awareness and reduced human error risk
The best features YaRKEN offers are phishing simulations, customizable security awareness trainings, detailed reporting, user risk scoring, and campaign automation.I find myself relying the most on phishing simulations because they provide a realistic way to assess user behavior, identify high-risk employees, and improve awareness through targeted training. One standout feature of YaRKEN is the detailed reporting and user risk scoring, which helps security teams measure progress and focus training where it is needed most. YaRKEN has positively impacted my organization by improving employee awareness, reducing phishing susceptibility, strengthening the organization's security culture, and helping to lower the risk of human error-related security incidents.
