Endorsement story
Royal FloraHolland is the leading international cooperative and marketplace for floriculture. With their digital platform and physical hubs, they make the widest and deepest floriculture assortment easily accessible worldwide. Royal FloraHolland also takes a pioneering role around cyber, for example as co-initiator of the Cyber Resilience Centre Greenport. From this role, Royal FloraHolland has started offering the RFH (Royal FloraHolland) Cyber subscription for growers and buyers. For mapping its dark web exposure, it uses Passguard. Why? Here is the story of Bas Wevers, CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) of Royal FloraHolland.
As CISO I must make countless decisions: which measures do I take now, which measures do I take later, what should I prioritize? You want to make well-founded decisions, based on substantiated factual information.
Before I started working with Passguard, I had limited information about leaked data. Thus, I had to sift through countless reports to get an idea of the bigger picture. The problem with those kinds of reports is the generic nature and never a specific mention of us as an organization.
This is precisely why I am so content that Passguard allows me to note what I could not note before. This has resulted in better decision-making and a stronger rationale for making decisions. This contributes to our broader cyber strategy of making fact-based decisions. Specifically, the intelligence from Passguard allowed us to tweak the right security measures and to accelerate where needed, but to slow down where we could.
The great element is that I get to see concrete and factual figures from Passguard – e.g. how focused a threat actor's attention is on our organization - not only on a definite scale, but as a benchmark between similar organizations. This helps me in convincing stakeholders. It makes my life as a CISO easier.
Information security is gaining increasing attention in healthcare organizations. We spoke about this with a large healthcare organization in the south of the Netherlands. Information security is an important theme for them: they continuously map out vulnerabilities and implement improvements. One of the tools they use for this is Passguard. Why? We asked the CIO.

Infostealers are developed as Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS). This model allows cybercriminals without deep technical knowledge to gain access to advanced malware by simply paying for a subscription. This makes infostealers more accessible for a wider range of criminals to launch attacks without having to develop malware themselves.

In recent years, many organizations have implemented effective measures to secure their networks and reduce the risk of phishing attacks. As a result, the effectiveness of traditional attack methods has significantly decreased. This poses a major problem for cybercriminals, as their entire ecosystem relies on successful attacks.
