Many organizations struggle to make cybersecurity awareness truly stick — training becomes repetitive, engagement drops, and employees start to tune out. As threats continue to evolve, a disengaged workforce quickly becomes a significant risk.
In this special Hacker Hour, broadcasting live from the SBS company retreat, we’ll break away from the same old awareness routines. Join us as we explore creative, practical ideas to spark a more engaged cyber-aware culture across your organization.
SBS Speaker: Nick Podhradsky, Cole Ponto, & Cody Delzer
Watch the video → take the quiz → fail the phishing test → watch another video → take another quiz.
It’s the rinse-and-repeat cycle that turns even well-meaning employees into frequent clickers — not because they don’t care but because the training never activates the part of the brain that actually spots deception in the wild.
Traditional security awareness training keeps people stuck in defense mode, forever bracing for the next surprise attack. But our brains don’t work well that way. Vigilance fatigue sets in. Rule-based thinking burns out. And eventually, someone clicks.
Join this session as we introduce Deception Lab, a new approach that flips the script. Instead of teaching people how to avoid the wolf, we teach them how to become the wolf.
By learning how deception is designed through guided, ethical gameplay, employees build intuition, pattern recognition, and real-world detection skills — so they can recognize manipulation before it works.
