In today’s digital landscape, organizations face an ever-evolving array of cyber threats, with phishing and social engineering remaining the most prevalent. As cybercriminals gain access to increasingly sophisticated tools, they continue to target employees, regarding them as the most vulnerable element of an organization’s defense. However, this perceived vulnerability can be transformed into an organization’s greatest asset in the fight against cyber threats.

Traditionally, the human element has been viewed as the Achilles’ heel of cybersecurity. Attackers exploit human nature, targeting emotions like fear, curiosity and urgency to bypass even the most robust technical defenses. With the advent of AI-powered tools capable of generating highly convincing phishing emails and deepfake videos, the line between genuine and fraudulent communications has become increasingly blurred.
