Security awareness needs to be a pivotal part of your wider cybersecurity strategy… but it needs to measurably work to reduce risk

In today's digital age, cyber threats are evolving at an unprecedented pace. While advanced technologies and robust systems are crucial, how you empower your people to react to situations remains one of the most significant elements.  Your people are a critical asset to your organisation so how you help and support them can impact their performance, your business risk and ultimately your business outcomes.

It’s time to implement security awareness programmes that empower employees with the knowledge and skills they need to recognise and respond to potential cyber threats, bridging the gap between tech defences and human behaviour.

Benefits of People-Centred Security

 

Reduce Errors Caused by People

People making mistakes is a leading cause of security breaches. By educating your people on best practices, common threats and how to handle suspicious activities, you significantly reduce the risk of accidental data leaks and unauthorised access.

Enhance Incident Response

A well-informed team can act swiftly and correctly in the event of a security incident. Security awareness training ensures that your people know the appropriate steps to take when faced with phishing attempts, malware, or other cyber threats, minimising potential damage.

Build a Security-First Culture

Integrating security awareness into your overall cybersecurity strategy fosters a culture of vigilance and responsibility. When security becomes a shared value within your business, your people are more likely to adhere to policies and practices that protect your data and systems.

Introducing Redflags® from ThinkCyber

To reduce cyber security incidents we need to target the behaviours that drive them

Your team needs to be aware of the potential cyber threats they may encounter during their work day, but it's important to achieve this without creating a culture of fear and blame whenever  there is a cyber incident. Redflags provides you with unique, real-time security interventions at the point of risk through gentle nudges that guide safe behaviours and build secure habits. Human error remains a significant vulnerability, so encouraging changes in behaviour, rather than just reinforcing technical security measures, is crucial to reducing these errors and balancing accessibility with security.

What people think about Redflags®

 

“Experienced CISOs know that phishing simulations have limited effect and that we can all fall for tricks when vulnerable; awareness campaigns only work for a short period before people forget the messages; and everyone hates computer based training! What I like about Redflags from ThinkCyber is that messages can be tailored and delivered “in-the-moment” as someone is about to do something risky. Based on the psychology of how to change behaviour, Redflags® reminds people what good practice looks like as they undertake specific activities, but without actually preventing the activity and interrupting business.”
