Cybersecurity Awareness Training Will Never Be Enough

In our digital-first world, cybersecurity awareness training is critical, yet it's not a standalone solution. Let's talk about pairing it with Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) to fortify our defenses.

Enter RBI. It sequesters browsing away from networks, acting as an automatic gatekeeper that doesn’t sleep. It's a necessary layer of defense that doesn’t require human perfection.

🔗 Integrating Awareness and Technology

While awareness training makes teams smarter, RBI keeps our infrastructure safer. Integrated, they offer a more robust defense against the sophistication of modern cyber threats.
