You Are the Target — Why the Human Element Matters

The induction module. Why attackers aim at people rather than systems (a person was involved in about 62% of breaches in the Verizon 2026 DBIR), the four things every scam is after, the channels they use to reach you, the South African numbers — and the three habits the whole programme teaches: Pause. Verify. Report.

After this module you can

• ✓Explain in one sentence why attackers go for people rather than systems.
• ✓Recognise the four things an attacker wants from you: your login, your click, your approval, your information.
• ✓Use the three habits — pause, verify, report — on anything that asks you to act.
• ✓Know where to report something at work, and that nobody is blamed for reporting.

What this module evidences: ISO/IEC 27001:2022 clause 7.3 (awareness) and Annex A control A.6.3 (information security awareness, education and training); the staff-awareness and security duties in data-protection law (for example GDPR Articles 32 and 39).
