Social engineering awareness training
Most breaches start with a person, not a system. This training works on the behaviour attackers actually exploit.
Who this is for
Where this fits
Organisations whose staff pass the annual phishing quiz and still click, share, or approve under pressure. Security and people leaders who want judgement in the moment, not just policy awareness.
What good looks like
The outcome you are after
People who pause on the urgent request, verify through a second channel, and report the near miss without shame. They already know the rules. Attackers rely on the gap between knowing and doing under time pressure.
What gets in the way
Why it is not happening yet
Urgency, authority and helpfulness, the levers social engineering pulls, override recall in the moment. A slide deck of red flags does not rehearse the pause where it counts.
What MindHug does
How we close the gap
Think like a hacker: an experiential programme that puts people through the manipulation from the attacker’s side, then builds the behavioural cue to stop and verify. Rooted in the Psychology of Change, so the caution holds when the pressure is real.
The evidence
Behaviour and confidence are measured before and after. We discuss the evidence relevant to your risk profile directly rather than publishing numbers stripped of their context.

The programme behind this is Social Engineering: Think like a hacker. For anything specific to your setting, the fastest route is a conversation.
