OutThink, the world’s first cybersecurity human risk management platform (SaaS), has gained Gartner’s recognition as a Representative Provider of Security Behavior and Culture Programs (SBCP). This endorsement underscores our innovative approach to security awareness and human risk management.

Key Findings:

  • The human element (85%) continued to be a primary catalyst for data breaches over the last 12 months, with phishing accounting for 36% of breaches.
  • Security awareness is more than phishing simulation and computer-based training. Leading programs leverage vendor platforms that enable and augment the execution of a multichannel, context-specific, and employee-centric approach to educate employees and change behaviors.
  • Security awareness programs are most successful in the presence of clearly defined objectives, sustained executive sponsorship, and collective organization-wide involvement.
  • Providers are increasingly using scoring methodologies with the intent of helping organizations quantify the human risk element and deliver more personalized security awareness program content.
  • Managed security awareness service providers are becoming more commonplace. They assist organizations in orchestrating many elements of a security awareness training program in the absence of employees dedicated to security awareness programs.
