BEUMER Group is a global engineering and manufacturing company delivering intralogistics and automation solutions for customers worldwide. With international project teams, long-running customer engagements, and close collaboration between engineering, procurement, finance, and management, communication and trust are central to daily operations.
At the same time, this operating model creates exposure to targeted social-engineering attacks, particularly those that exploit publicly available project information, supplier relationships, and known decision-makers.
BEUMER Group had established technical security controls and general awareness measures in place. However, the security team observed that attacks were becoming more contextual and role-specific. Instead of generic phishing emails, employees were increasingly confronted with:
Existing awareness formats raised general understanding, but they did not sufficiently prepare employees for high-pressure, real-world scenarios where decisions had to be made quickly.
BEUMER Group chose revel8 because the platform focuses on simulating real attack situations, rather than delivering static awareness content.
What was particularly relevant for BEUMER:
This approach aligned well with BEUMER’s goal of improving day-to-day decision-making without disrupting operational workflows.
revel8 was rolled out with a focus on high-risk roles across multiple regions. Employees were exposed to simulated attacks that closely resembled situations they might encounter in real projects, such as:
Each simulation was followed by short, contextual feedback explaining what signals were missed and how similar situations should be handled in the future.
Over time, the security team observed clear behavioral changes:
Instead of reacting emotionally to urgency, employees increasingly paused and validated requests—particularly in finance and project-related scenarios.
