Zivver Partners with OutThink to Advance Human-Centric Approach to Cybersecurity

On January 29th, 2024, Zivver, a secure email specialist, unveiled a new commercial partnership with OutThink, a provider of Cybersecurity Human Risk Management Platform SaaS. This collaboration aims to integrate best-of-breed security tools for human-centric training and data protection. The combined efforts of Zivver and OutThink seek to enhance security knowledge and mitigate risks without compromising productivity.

Established in 2019, OutThink is the creator of the world's first Human Risk Management Platform. This platform is designed to assist Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) in addressing the source of 90% of data breaches: human behavior. Organizations worldwide utilize OutThink's platform to identify, measure, and induce behavioral changes.

On the other hand, Zivver specializes in providing effortless email security solutions. These solutions are designed to prevent data leaks and empower users to work securely with minimal disruption. Zivver places a strong emphasis on accessibility and user experience, making their solutions appealing for widespread adoption across organizations.

Zivver and OutThink both adopt a human-centric approach to cybersecurity. Their combined solutions aim to empower employees by providing the necessary tools and knowledge to work effectively and securely.

Unlike traditional security approaches that view employees as a risk to be mitigated, often resulting in enforced rules and processes causing frustration, dissatisfaction, and increased risk, the partnership takes a different approach. Through the implementation of in-the-moment human error prevention tools, advanced encryption, and training, the collaboration intends to assist individuals in mitigating risks, enhance security knowledge, and ensure widespread adoption of best practices. Importantly, this is achieved without imposing additional workloads on employees or security leaders.

Oliver Brown, the Vice President of Commercial at Zivver, highlighted the collaborative efforts, stating, “Our approach to email security, compliance, and data loss prevention, combined with OutThink’s security awareness training, phishing simulation, and human risk intelligence, is set to reinforce secure digital communication across the globe. We look forward to working together on further integrations in the future.” This statement emphasizes the joint commitment to enhancing digital communication security on a global scale and hints at potential future collaborations.

Kanav Bhama, the Vice President of Finance & Growth at OutThink, expressed excitement about the partnership with Zivver, emphasizing the alignment with their commitment to human-centric security. Bhama stated, “We’re excited to form a close partnership with Zivver, a company that aligns seamlessly with our principled commitment to a human-centric security. Together we look forward to driving a profound improvement in cybersecurity posture across organizations and amplifying human awareness of and towards cyber risks.” This statement underscores the shared goals of enhancing cybersecurity and increasing awareness of cyber risks through their collaborative efforts.
