Introducing Journeys to CISO Assistant

[ab-smith]

𝗔 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗜𝗦𝗢 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁

We are excited and humbled by the continuously growing adoption of 𝗖𝗜𝗦𝗢 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 by hundreds of thousands of users around the world.

However, this growth also highlighted an important challenge. Because CISO Assistant follows a 𝗼𝗻𝗲-𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽-𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵, the platform covers many areas and provides a wide range of capabilities. This is incredibly powerful for experienced users who know what they want to achieve and appreciate being able to expand their scope without juggling multiple tools.

At the same time, it can feel overwhelming for 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 who simply want to start with one specific task or part of the platform.

Some time ago, we introduced 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗴𝘀 to help fine-tune the experience. Users can hide modules they don’t need and focus on what matters most to them. While helpful, this still assumes that you already have an idea of 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁.

That’s exactly where 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆𝘀 come in.

With Journeys, getting started becomes much simpler. Journeys provide 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀. They automatically import the necessary dependencies, generate 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 to help you explore and understand the platform, and guide you as you navigate across the related objects.

To get started, we’ve included 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝟬 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 shared by our community, ranging from small organizations looking to establish their 𝗰𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, all the way to a 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗜𝗦𝗢 𝟮𝟳𝟬𝟬𝟭 𝗜𝗦𝗠𝗦 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. We’ll continue adding new journeys as they become relevant, based on your feedback and suggestions.

In other words, you can 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗼 𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱. Journeys act as a 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁-𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵, helping users progressively expand their scope as they gain confidence.

As a bonus, Journeys are built on top of the 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲 used throughout the platform. This means that 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 helping SMEs, as well as 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 designing structured programs for large organizations, will soon be able to 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆𝘀
