Security awareness and training (SA&T) doesn't influence Type 1 thinking
People are more vulnerable to error when they are in Type 1 thinking. They act quickly and unconsciously, unable to recall historic training. As a result, SA&T programs that deliver generic training content on a periodic schedule are unable to meaningfully change people's behavior at the point of risk, such as when they're responding to a phishing attack or sending an email to the wrong person.
It’s in these moments that people need intelligent technology to augment SA&T, alerting them to threats in real time and nudging them into more logical, lower-risk Type 2 thinking.
Egress uses real-time teachable moments to nudge people into Type 2 thinking
We use machine learning technology to deliver real-time teachable moments through our Intelligent Email Security platform.
Our dynamic alerts change based on the current level of risk and offer clear explanations, meaning people remain engaged and responsive over time.
When a threat occurs, these real-time teachable moments nudge people into Type 2 thinking, enabling them to respond rationally and logically.
