Redflags® by ThinkCyber addresses these challenges by using pre-emptive nudges at the time of potentially risky behaviours to foster safer actions without workflow disruption. This efficient, engaging format not only enhances security awareness but also increases employee satisfaction through manageable learning doses

We know there's a balance to strike between being compliant with your security controls and trying out innovative human risk activities. So, on February 25th, our Security Behaviour and Analytics Director, Lucy Finlay and Katy Thorogood, Information Security and Data Protection Officer at Interact Software, will discuss some ideas on how you can implement non-traditional human risk activities whilst answering your security compliance goals, from the point of view of both a human risk practitioner and an auditor.
Event Format: Online Webinar
Date: Tuesday 25th of February
Time: 2.00 pm to 3.00 pm

Redflags delivers context-aware, in-the-moment interventions that guide users at the point of risk to safer habits.
These pre-emptive interventions foster safer behaviours without workflow disruption.

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.”
