Redflags

Redflags from ThinkCyber is a next-generation security behavior change platform that applies behavioral and learning science, including Nobel Prize-winning "Nudge" Theory, to deliver real-time, context-aware security interventions directly at the point of risk. Rather than relying on traditional annual training or phishing simulations that users quickly forget, Redflags intervenes in the moment when users are about to take risky actions—such as clicking suspicious links, downloading sensitive data to USB drives, entering passwords after clicking phishing links, or using weak passwords. The platform delivers gentle, educational nudges that guide users toward safer behaviors without interrupting their workflow or making them feel punished for mistakes.

The platform achieves outstanding measurable results across its client base, including an 89% engagement rate, a 73.4% reduction in Outlook link clicks, a 59% decrease in password entry after clicking suspicious links, and a 93% reduction in files copied to removable drives. Individual case studies demonstrate even stronger impacts: Gamma achieved a 93.7% reduction in files copied to removable disks, a leading defense firm saw a 79% drop in Outlook link clicks, and a consulting client recorded an 81% decrease in password entries following link clicks. Redflags is NCSC Assured Training certified and available in 13 languages, making it scalable to organizations of any size.

Redflags operates through multiple delivery mechanisms: desktop micro-messages that drip-feed brief security content to maintain awareness, real-time contextual nudges that appear when specific risky behaviors are detected, application-specific reminders (such as phishing warnings in Outlook), and campaign-based behavior change initiatives that target specific risky behaviors over time. The platform integrates directly into endpoints with minimal disruption, provides comprehensive engagement analytics and behavioral metrics through a management portal, and allows organizations to customize content, branding, and campaigns to their specific needs. This approach treats employees as the first line of defense rather than the weakest link, creating lasting cultural change rather than temporary awareness.
