OutThink: Redefining Human Risk Management in Cybersecurity

Business Fortune

In a digital age where cyber threats loom large, traditional approaches to cybersecurity often fall short. Enter OutThink, a revolutionary Human Risk Management Platform (SaaS) that empowers Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) by addressing the source of 90% of all data breaches: human behavior. This innovative company is redefining the landscape of cybersecurity by turning security awareness on its head and leveraging human intelligence to prevent data breaches like never before.

OutThink's journey begins with a bold premise: conventional security awareness training is insufficient. Instead of simply educating employees, OutThink's targeted training programs allow organizations to learn from their people. This shift in perspective forms the foundation of OutThink's Human Risk Management Platform, which combines human intelligence with data from existing security systems to reveal unique patterns of risk across the organization.

Targeted Training for Maximum Impact

OutThink's Security Awareness Training (SAT) product is designed to educate employees about cybersecurity risks and best practices to prevent cyberattacks. However, what sets OutThink apart is its emphasis on personalized, targeted training. This approach ensures that each employee receives relevant and impactful content tailored to their specific needs and behaviors.

  • Personalized Cybersecurity Training: OutThink’s SAT offers customized training modules that match the organization's brand and preferences. This personalization enhances engagement and retention, making the training more effective.

  • Real-time Feedback and Continuous Improvement: The platform continuously assesses the effectiveness of the training and provides real-time feedback, enabling organizations to make necessary adjustments and improvements.

  • Actionable Risk Insights: OutThink identifies critical employee vulnerabilities and provides actionable insights to address them, ensuring that organizations can proactively mitigate risks.

Adaptive Security Awareness Training (ASAT)

OutThink’s Adaptive Security Awareness Training (ASAT) takes personalization a step further by offering training that is unique to each user. This dynamic content allocation engine delivers individualized training based on the learner’s demonstrated knowledge and behavior.

  • Guaranteed Completion: OutThink’s suite of features ensures 100% training completion, making sure that every employee is adequately prepared to face cyber threats.
  • Automation and Customization: The right training is automatically delivered to the right individual at the right time. Administrators can also customize the content to make it organization-specific.

Phishing Simulation: Real-world Training

Phishing remains one of the most common and effective methods used by cybercriminals. OutThink’s Phishing Simulation (PS) product addresses this threat by simulating real-world phishing scenarios to train and fortify employees against email-based attacks.

  • Localized Templates: Personalized simulations in users' preferred languages make the training more relatable and effective.

  • Auto Training Enrollment: Compromised users are instantly enrolled in targeted training, ensuring they learn from their mistakes.

  • Interactive Landing Pages: Engaging gamification elements on the landing pages enhance user involvement and retention of critical information.

Human Risk Intelligence: A New Era in Cybersecurity

OutThink’s Human Risk Intelligence (HRI) product is a game-changer in the field of cybersecurity. By combining human intelligence with data from existing security systems, OutThink provides organizations with unparalleled insights into their human risk landscape.

  • Human Risk Score: The platform offers instant visibility into how vulnerable the workforce is to cyber attacks, allowing organizations to take immediate action.

  • Identifying Vulnerable Users: OutThink pinpoints high-risk individuals and recommends improvement actions to guide and support them better.

  • Collaboration Network Visualization: The platform visualizes work and trust relationships within the organization, utilizing this intelligence to defend against human-lateral movement attacks.

AI-Powered Conversational Training

OutThink is also pioneering AI-powered conversational training, an industry-first approach that transforms the learning experience into a 1:1 session with a secure behavior coach.

  • Natural Language Interaction: This feature inherently engages users by forcing a conversation about security.

  • Adaptive Learning: The level of content adjusts based on the learner’s demonstrated knowledge, making the training both relevant and challenging.

  • Detailed Behavioral Profiles: The nature of engagement allows for the collection of detailed input into the learner’s secure behavioral profile, providing deeper insights into their understanding and practices.

Eva: The Intelligent Cybersecurity Co-pilot

OutThink’s innovative solutions also include Eva, an AI-powered cybersecurity co-pilot designed to work within platforms like Microsoft Teams and Slack.

  • High Engagement: Automated, just-in-time, schedule-aware nudges keep users engaged and informed.

  • Cost Efficiency: Eva provides 24/7 virtual cybersecurity assistance at a fraction of the cost of human SOC analysts.

  • Streamlined Communication: Crucial events are promptly communicated with 'Important' Teams messages that cannot be ignored, ensuring that vital information reaches the right people at the right time.

OutThink’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that sustainable security is built by understanding and empowering people. By focusing on human behavior and providing personalized, actionable training and insights, OutThink enables organizations to foster a culture of security awareness and resilience.

OutThink’s culture emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and high trust.
