Committing to the 1% Pledge of our Product: Free Security Awareness Training

kanavb — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 15:26:02 GMT

Hi everyone ! I’m Kanav, VP of Finance and Operations at OutThink.

OutThink provides highly engaging Adaptive Security Awareness Training that helps companies reduce their cyber risk, meet compliance needs and solve for the number 1 cause of cyber attacks: human behavior. Over the past few months we've dug deep and reflected on why do we exist, and landed on a clarified mission: To secure digital life, everywhere.

That's one of the reasons why we're now signatories of the 1% Pledge too! In thinking of how we honor our commitment we've made to the 1% Pledge, we realized that most of the global economy is powered by small and medium-sized businesses. As well-resourced multinationals have invested in developing their cybersecurity capabilities in light of an expanding and evolving threat landscape, cybercriminals have trained their sights on less protected, more vulnerable SMBs. The worst part? 60% of SMBs that suffer a cyber breach go out of business in 6 months.

We figure that this is where we can have biggest philanthropic impact.

As part of the 1% Pledge of our Product, we've now launched a Community Edition version of our product for all business and not-for-profits with up to 250 employees to access for free, so they can provide their employees with best-in-class training they need to keep themselves and their organizations cyber-safe.

If this sounds like it could help you, you're welcome to sign up here:

Oh ! Or if you know anyone who would benefit from this, please feel free to share it forward with your network. Thank you for your support with helping us with our commitment to the Pledge!
