SUMMARY:Emotions and Urgency: How Cybercriminals Exploit Human Nature
DESCRIPTION:With just a click\, an entire network can be compromised. A single misstep—whether it's falling for a cleverly crafted phishing email\, reusing passwords\, or trusting the wrong request for information can open the door to cybercriminals. Why are people still downloading "urgent" invoice attachments from unknown senders? Why are they being targeted at home? And why are social engineering attacks so effective\, even against trained professionals?\n \n Human error remains one of the biggest threats to organizational and information security\, and cybercriminals know exactly how to exploit it. From ransomware gangs using AI to personalize phishing attacks to business email compromise scams that trick even seasoned executives\, the cybercrime industry is booming—and people are the preferred target. In this session\, we’ll break down real-world examples of human risk gone wrong\, discuss why training alone often fails\, and reveal practical ways to protect yourself\, your family\, and your organization against cyberattacks and information theft.\n \n In this session\, you will learn:\n • The psychology behind why we fall for cyber scams\n • How cybercriminals exploit trust\, urgency\, and fear to manipulate our behavior\n • Why reporting attacks is so important

DESCRIPTION:Do YOU have the guts? Then step up\, suit up (metaphorically\, of course... no poncho required)\, and get ready for a high-energy\, no-tech\, slime-free session where you’ll race through a series of brain-friendly\, classroom-ready physical challenges designed to fire up adult learners just like students. Inspired by the wild world of Nickelodeon’s Double Dare\, this session dares you to go beyond sit-and-get and experience professional learning and classroom learning that’s as memorable as a pie to the face (but with less clean-up). You won’t just talk about active learning\; you’ll do it: toss\, write\, move\, shout\, reflect\, and walk away with real strategies you can use in your building tomorrow morning. Each “challenge” is rooted in research-backed learning science. Whether you’re launching a Paper Airplane\, Getting Slimed\, Cootie Catcher- Catch Up\, every move you make is a step closer to winning the final obstacle: PD and learning that actually sticks. You in? I Double Dare You.
