Security Awareness Training: Adaptive Training Unique to Each User
In today's digital landscape, organizations of all sizes, both public and private, face an increasing need for robust cybersecurity measures. Despite widespread acknowledgment of the importance of cybersecurity awareness training by industry experts, conventional training methods often fall short. Research by Gartner in 2023 highlighted the ineffectiveness of traditional approaches, emphasizing the necessity for a more dynamic and user-centric training model.
OutThink’s Adaptive Security Awareness Training (SAT) is designed to provide employees with relevant and personalized cybersecurity education, addressing the unique needs of each user. This innovative approach not only reduces cybersecurity risks but also minimizes productivity costs associated with ineffective training methods.
OutThink revolutionizes Security Awareness Training by rejecting the outdated one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, each employee begins with an initial assessment to determine their unique cybersecurity training needs. This assessment allows for the dynamic allocation of training modules that specifically target areas of higher risk, ensuring that employees gain practical knowledge and genuine engagement. This personalized method is essential in addressing the fact that, according to the ICO in 2021, a significant proportion of cybersecurity breaches result from unsafe user behavior rather than software or hardware vulnerabilities.
OutThink offers a comprehensive library of over 120 training modules available in 30 languages. This extensive selection ensures that employees across diverse regions and industries receive relevant and accessible training. Prospective users can experience the effectiveness of OutThink’s approach through demo modules, which provide a glimpse into the depth and quality of the training available.
Automated and Targeted Delivery of Training Modules
OutThink’s training modules are delivered automatically and tailored to each user's performance and behavior. This approach ensures that training is not only relevant but also effective in addressing specific vulnerabilities. By gaining insights into user behavior, organizations can create targeted training campaigns that significantly enhance cybersecurity awareness and practices.
Automated Localization and Workflows
Understanding the importance of teamwork and collaboration, OutThink prioritizes the collective success of the organization. The platform supports automated localization, ensuring that training materials are culturally and linguistically appropriate for users across different regions. This global approach fosters a high-trust environment where transparency and persistence are valued.
Style Editor and Custom Reminder Sequences
Administrators and line managers have the flexibility to fully customize training content and reminders with the company's branding. This customization not only enhances engagement but also ensures that the training materials are consistent with the organization’s identity and values. Scheduling custom reminders helps keep training top of mind for employees, reinforcing the importance of cybersecurity awareness.
