Technology that makes security easier to manage
Technology · Security · Well-being
We work at the intersection of Technology, Security and Well-being.
Apalala helps organisations manage security with better technology, keeps patient data secured while technology helps health professionals in their daily work, and supports the people behind it all with psychological expertise that makes them feel better.

pillars: technology, security, well-being

services across the three pillars
Pillar — Technology
Technology
We build and deploy technology that quietly removes friction from security work — dashboards, tools and training platforms that make a hard job manageable, and that help health professionals do their work without ever putting patient data at risk.

Pillar — Security
Security
Cybersecurity fails when it is imposed by force. Apalala runs it as a management approach — systems, metrics and human exercises rolled out smoothly, so protection becomes the easy default instead of a constraint people work around.

Pillar — Well-being
Well-being
Organizations are people. Our psychologists bring evidence-based interventions to the workplace — consultations, stress-management workshops and coaching — so that security culture grows on ground where people actually feel better.

Our work
The book, the apps and everything around them
This site is the companion to GetPhishingUnderControl — the book that started it all. Everything below puts its ideas into practice.
The book
GetPhishingUnderControl — a hands-on guide to running phishing campaigns that actually change behavior, not just tick a compliance box (V1, V4).
Apps
Web apps built from the book's toolset, free at apps.apalala.be: risk-matrix optimizer and evaluator, a risk-assessment guide, file and color converters, a swim-speed calculator. Android and iOS apps included.
Guides
Practical, no-nonsense walkthroughs — resources and blog articles on adding email warning banners, choosing passwords, and cyber-awareness in series (V1).
Presentations
Talks we've given: Neurohacking (2018) and Jedi Tricks I & II — security through the lens of how people actually think (V3).
How we work
A smooth path from risk to resilience
The same five steps run through every engagement, whichever pillar it touches.
Understand
We map your people, processes and technology — the real risks, not the generic list.
Design
We plan across all three pillars: the right tools, the right safeguards, the right support for the humans involved.
Implement
Roll-out as a management approach: staged, communicated, gentle on daily work — cybersecurity people accept rather than dodge.
Measure
Metrics and dashboards show what actually changed, so steering is based on evidence instead of anecdotes.
Sustain
Culture, coaching and consultations keep the gains alive — and keep the people behind them feeling better.
