Social Engineering Red Flags

This week, we dive into the deceptive world of social engineering—where attackers manipulate human behaviour to gain access to sensitive information. From phishing emails to impersonation tactics, social engineering is one of the most common and dangerous forms of cyberattack.

Pulse Learning Module

Title: Insights from a Hacker: Social Engineering Red Flags

Take the 10-minute training module.

This short, interactive module reveals how hackers think and operate, helping you recognise manipulation techniques before they succeed. 

Cyber awareness quiz

Test your knowledge with our Week 1 Cyber Trivia Tournament Quiz, designed to reinforce key concepts from the training. It’s a quick and fun way to check your understanding and challenge your colleagues.

Take the quiz.

The Inside Man Series

The Inside Man, a 12-episode security awareness series has been sent to all staff as part of the Mandatory Cybersecurity Awareness Training initiative. Each episode is just 5–10 minutes and covers topics like:

  • Phishing attacks
  • Password hygiene
  • Insider threats
  • Mobile device security
  • Reporting suspicious activity

It is compulsory to watch the full series by October 31 to complete your training.

Spread the word

Help us build a culture of cyber vigilance by:

  • Encouraging your team to complete the module and quiz.
  • Sharing tips that you learn from the training in team meetings.
  • Reporting suspicious emails or behavior to IT immediately.
