During an incident, the most valuable intel is from people on the ground. Security teams rely on their colleagues across the organization to report issues quickly and without trying to fix things themselves.

"Someone online shows a 'trick' that feels harmless at first. Then the community pulls you in. Everyone's doing it. It feels like skill, not crime."

A young person from South Africa, describing how their peers slide into cybercrime.

The digital landscape faces a new and complex challenge: the rise of generative AI. While these tools offer incredible potential for innovation, they also provide malicious actors with sophisticated ways to deceive even the most vigilant users.

Spies have always relied on technology, disguises, secret communications and clever gadgets, at least if the movies are to be believed.

But some of the most effective tools in the espionage business have always been people. Convince the right person to open a door, reveal a secret or trust someone they should not, and suddenly bypassing the sophisticated security system becomes unnecessary.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Equip your team with the intel they need to stay ahead of global threat actors and threats such as social engineering and AI deepfakes.
