How can we maximize return on investment for this product? Hi Jacob, thanks for your question! As you know the Carbide platform is designed to help organizations build and manage their security and compliance initiatives. Depending on your business objectives, there are different ways to configure the platform for optimal guidance. That said, while the platform can certainly guide you in understanding what to do next, it cannot fully replace a human providing guidance on any company’s unique situation, which is why we offer packages that include access to security and privacy experts. Please reach out to support@carbidesecure.com to schedule a session on how to get the most out of the platform and ensure your instance is optimized for your needs.

As a part of a multi-national organization, we are getting more than 100 emails a day, so how can we avoid these mistakes. When you see any such email, below are the questions we need to ask: 1. Were we expecting any such email? 2. Do we know the sender? 3. Is the sender using right email address, if the sender is a known person. 4. If the sender is available on call or instant messenger, we must attempt to discuss first.
