Strengthen your defense against online scams with our customized online course that pairs emotional smarts with essential cyber safety tactics. Learn to spot and stop cyber threats with a clear mind and a sharp eye.
Stop Scams
In a world rife with digital deceptions and social engineering, your first line of defense is not just technological—it's emotional. Recognize the reality: you're a target, but you don't have to be a victim.
Bridge the Gap
Traditional cybersecurity training focuses solely on technical solutions, overlooking the human element. This incomplete approach leaves psychological and emotional gaps that cybercriminals readily exploit.
Emotional Firewalls
The missing piece in cybersecurity training: the human component. Most training programs prepare you to tackle digital threats technically, emotional firewalls empower you against cybercriminals who exploit human vulnerabilities.

Sample List of Social Engineering Scenarios
Phishing Attacks
Challenge: Employees receiving deceptive emails attempting to collect sensitive information.
Impact: Potential loss of critical business information, financial loss, and erosion of trust.
Solution: Building emotional firewalls through training that enhances awareness and skepticism. Employees learn to recognize cues and triggers that make an email "feel" wrong, engaging both logic and emotion.
Tailgating
Challenge: Unauthorized individuals gaining physical access to restricted areas by following employees.
Impact: Security breaches, theft of physical and digital assets.
Solution: Cultivating an emotional firewall that creates a culture of politely challenging unfamiliar faces. This emotional resilience empowers employees to question without fear of awkwardness.
Baiting
Challenge: Offering something enticing to the employees to install malicious software.
Impact: Network compromise, data leaks, ransomware attacks.
Solution: Emotional firewalls should instill a sense of skepticism and encourage double-checking before downloading anything, even if it appears attractive.
Quick Pro Quo Attacks
Challenge: Highly targeted phishing attack focused on specific employees.
Impact: High, as these attacks are often very convincing and can result in significant data loss.
Solution: Emotional firewalls can be strengthened through awareness training that includes real-world examples, teaching employees to always verify before acting on sensitive requests.
Watering Hole Attacks
Challenge: Compromising websites frequently visited by employees.
Impact: Multiple systems could get infected, leading to a larger network compromise.
Solution: Instilling a balanced emotional firewall that mixes vigilance with common sense, teaching employees to look for red flags even in familiar digital terrains.
CEO Fraud/Impersonation
Challenge: Attackers impersonate top executives to trick employees into transferring money or disclosing sensitive data.
Impact: Significant financial loss, erosion of trust within the organization.
Solution: Building an emotional firewall where employees are trained to double-check and validate any extraordinary requests from executives by using a separate, secure method of communication.
Vishing (Voice Phishing)
Challenge: Employees receive phone calls from attackers posing as trusted entities, asking for confidential information.
Impact: Unauthorized access to sensitive data or systems, financial loss.
Solution: Cultivate emotional firewalls that train employees to be as cautious on the phone as they are with email. Develop the emotional resilience to say "no" and confirm requests through another channel.
Pretexting
Challenge: Scammers create a fabricated scenario to manipulate employees into divulging sensitive information or granting physical access to secure areas.
Impact: Risk of unauthorized data access, identity theft, and financial fraud.
Solution: Train employees to always verify the identity of individuals making unusual requests and to consult with superiors or colleagues when in doubt.
Whaling Attacks
Challenge: A specialized form of phishing that targets high-ranking executives.
Impact: Financial loss and the potential exposure of vast amounts of sensitive data.
Solution: Emotional firewall training should focus on high-ranking executives, making them aware that they are prime targets and should double-verify any unsolicited requests.
Tech Support Scam
Challenge: Attackers pose as tech support agents claiming that the user has an issue with their computer.
Impact: Installation of malware, loss of personal or financial data.
Solution: Emotional firewalls should empower employees to question and validate the credentials of anyone claiming to offer technical support.
