About Us
Praxis Security Labs helps organizations improve cyber resilience and increase profit margins, by addressing and resolving aspects of cybersecurity and business performance related to human behavior.
Our team members have enviable and proven track records, both in industry and in academia. We’re experts at implementing, for the real world, best practices derived from the latest research methodologies. We focus on what actually works, rather than what is – all too frequently – believed to be working.
Critically, our solutions and services use data that your staff generate every day in the course of their work and activities. We believe in improving security and performance based on facts and science, not narratives, and in making it easy to do so.
Leadership
Kai Roer
CEO
The work of industry veteran, author and serial entrepreneur Kai Roer has, for decades, focused on helping organizations understand what culture they currently have, what culture they would like to have, and how to get there. He works with the information security community on a global stage to educate the importance and impact that security culture has.
In 2010, he created and gave to the open source community the Security Culture Framework (SCF), a framework and methodology to build and maintain security culture. This evolved into several spin-offs, including the Cybersecurity Culture Framework by The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) in 2015. His popular book “Build a Security Culture” (IT-Governance, 2015) is widely considered as the guiding resource on the topic of security culture.
