From Tick-Box Training to Real Behaviour Change: Secon Partners with Redflags ® by Think Cyber 

As cyber threats continue to evolve in speed and sophistication, one constant remains: human behaviour is still the number one attack vector. From phishing and ransomware to data loss and credential misuse, user actions continue to play a central role in security incidents, often unintentionally. 

Rethinking Security Awareness: From Annual Training to Everyday Behaviour.

Traditional approaches to security awareness, annual training sessions, static eLearning modules, or policy-heavy intranet pages, have long failed to keep up with the dynamic nature of today’s cyber risks. Employees may understand the right actions in theory, but still fall victim to phishing emails, re-use weak passwords, or unintentionally mishandle sensitive data. 

Why? Because the gap isn’t always in knowledge. It’s in timing, context, and habit. 

That’s where Redflags® makes the difference. 

These nudges are grounded in proven behavioural science, applying concepts like friction, reinforcement, and contextual timing to shift behaviours in a sustainable way. 

“People are still the most targeted and most unpredictable part of the security equation. What we love about Redflags® is that it treats users with respect while helping them make smarter decisions. It’s relevant, it’s timely, and it’s incredibly effective. This partnership supports our mission to deliver practical, people-first solutions that reduce risk without slowing anyone down.” 
 
Robert Gupta, Chief Executive Officer, Secon 

A Modern Solution to a Persistent Problem.

At its core, Redflags® is built to support continuous engagement and incremental learning. Instead of treating security awareness as a once-a-year event, it integrates education and behavioural support into the flow of work. This approach improves retention, drives cultural change, and ultimately helps users form secure habits. 

Key benefits include: 

  • Real-Time, Context-Aware Interventions: Nudges are triggered in the exact moment a user might take a risky action. 
  • Behavioural Science Foundation: Rooted in the latest research in behavioural psychology and habit formation. 
  • Continuous Micro-Learning: Delivering bite-sized, relevant content throughout the year, not just during training season. 
  • Cultural Uplift at Scale: Improves your organisation’s security posture without relying solely on top-down policies. 
  • Analytics and Insight: Understand which behaviours are improving, and where additional support is needed. 

Aligning Innovation with Expertise.

The partnership between Redflags by ThinkCyber and Secon brings together two complementary strengths: Redflag’s behavioural innovation and Secon’s deep experience in cyber security governance, compliance, and risk management. 

“It makes perfect sense for us to be aligning Redflags’ innovation with the seasoned expertise in cybersecurity that Secon offer their customers to enhance compliance, governance, and overall security posture against evolving cyber threats.” 
Tim Ward, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, ThinkCyber 

Strengthening the Human Layer of Cyber Security.

At Secon, we recognise that people can be your strongest defence, or your greatest risk, depending on how you engage and empower them.  
 
That’s why we’ve expanded our human-focused security tooling to include Redflags®: a solution that respects users’ intelligence, supports their learning journey, and nudges them toward more secure decisions every day. 

Whether you’re a compliance-driven organisation looking to strengthen audit readiness, or a security-conscious business aiming to reduce operational risk, Redflags® helps bridge the gap between knowing and doing.
