Tech Unchained Network

I hosted a 3+ hour #Cybersecurity workshop in partnership with Tech Unchained, and here are some of the reviews from participants. I genuinely love teaching, and one of my long-term goals is to become a cybersecurity lecturer and, ultimately, a professor. Feedback like this encourages me to keep working towards that goal.🤞

One of the most talked about forms of cyber attack is #Phishing. But understanding phishing goes beyond knowing how to identify a suspicious email. 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱: • What happens behind every click. • How phishing simulations are designed. • How users interact with them. • What the attacker is trying to achieve. And • How defenders can use that knowledge to strengthen security awareness. That is why I’m excited to partner with @techunchained__ for a hands-on cybersecurity workshop themed: Understanding Phishing Through an Attacker's Lens: Configuring Your First Phishing Simulation Campaign for Security Awareness. In course of this session, I will be exploring the topic of phishing from three unique standpoints and be answering the core question for each: 🎯 The Attacker: What makes a phishing campaign convincing, and how are social engineering techniques used to influence user behavior? 👤 The Victim: What happens when we interact with a simulated phishing message, and what makes people susceptible to these attacks? 🛡️ The Defender: How can security professionals use phishing simulations to identify gaps, measure security awareness, and strengthen an organization's defenses?

If you're an aspiring cybersecurity professional looking to move beyond theory, or a practicing professional who wants to strengthen your understanding of phishing simulations and security awareness, this session is for you. 👉🏼Date: 25 August 2026 👉🏼Time: 6:00 PM WAT 👉🏼Register for free: linkedin.com/safety/go/?url=… I'm looking forward to making this an interactive session where I'll walk participants through a step-by-step approach, with practical knowledge they can apply. #Cybersecurity is best learned by understanding how things work in practice. See you there!💜
