Let’s face it: remote and hybrid work are the norm. They’re part of the new realities of the modern workplace. From cozy home offices to cafes (yes, we see you), today’s workforce is more decentralized than ever. While this flexibility is great for productivity and work-life balance, it opens the door for cyber threats to sneak in. Have you ever thought about this?

When your team signs in from anywhere, is your security posture fit for purpose?

When employees log in from cafes, airports, or their living rooms, they’re often outside the safe, locked-down walls of your corporate network. That means personal devices, public Wi-Fi, and unfamiliar software become part of your extended security perimeter.

And that perimeter? It’s porous.

According to Lookout’s 2022 Global State of Mobile Phishing Report, phishing attacks targeting remote and hybrid workers jumped by 30%, driven by the perfect combination of isolation, distraction, and unfamiliar systems.

Additionally, remote work can lead to a disconnected security culture, where employees feel isolated from regular training and updates, making them more susceptible to risky behaviors.

You know this: one-size-fits-all security awareness training doesn’t work anymore.

This is where OutThink’s Cybersecurity Human Risk Management platform steps in, delivering targeted, behavior-driven security awareness tailored for today’s flexible workforces.

Here’s how:

• Personalized Training & Learning Paths: OutThink’s platform provides role-specific training that caters to each employee’s unique work setup. Whether remote, hybrid, or in-office, employees receive customized security awareness training relevant to their day-to-day activities.
• Phishing Simulations & Reporting: Remote workers are particularly vulnerable to phishing attacks. OutThink’s platform enables organizations to run targeted phishing simulations for remote employees, helping them recognize and respond to suspicious emails. The platform also fosters a culture of vigilance by encouraging employees to report threats in real time.
• Secure Device and Network Use: OutThink’s training includes modules on securing personal devices, understanding VPNs, and recognizing the dangers of public Wi-Fi networks. This ensures employees working outside the office know how to protect company data even on unsecure networks.

Security isn’t just about firewalls, it’s about mindsets.

And one of the biggest challenges in remote work is maintaining that “security-first” culture when your team isn’t under one roof. OutThink solves this by enabling ongoing engagement through:

• Interactive modules that break the monotony
• Real-time feedback to reinforce protocols
• Behavior nudges that build lasting habits

In short, it keeps your security culture connected, no matter how distributed your geography might be.

The shift to hybrid and remote work isn’t going anywhere, and neither are cyber threats. But with the right tools, you can adapt your cybersecurity strategy to the way people actually work today.

OutThink’s Cybersecurity Human Risk Management platform doesn’t just raise awareness, it uses behavioral insights to spot and reduce risk in real time. Whether your team is at the headquarters, home, or halfway across the globe, OutThink empowers them to become active defenders of your organization’s digital perimeter.
