Track 3: Heroes, David Bowie (1977)

Training turns staff into cyber heroes

“We can be heroes… just for one day.”  David Bowie wasn’t talking about your receptionist spotting a phishing email, but he might as well have been.

Cyber heroes aren’t born in capes, they’re made in training sessions.  One bored click on a dodgy link and your “ordinary staff member” becomes the reason you’re explaining to clients why their data’s on the dark web.  But give them training?  Suddenly they’re blocking attacks faster than Ziggy Stardust strummed a chord.

Gen X loved a montage.  Think Rocky running up the steps, or The Karate Kid waxing cars.  Training works the same way, repetitive, boring, but when the big fight comes, you’re ready.

Every employee can be a hero if they know what to look for.  Don’t rely on IT to catch everything, every employee is the 1st line of defense, resilience is a team sport.  With Bowie blasting in the background, remind your staff, one smart click makes a hero.  One dumb click makes a headline!
