Why We Fall For It

Why We Fall For It is a real-world security awareness workshop that helps organizations stay ahead of today’s most common scams. Built around actual incidents, the session shows how phishing, impersonation, and social engineering work—not in theory, but in practice. Participants learn how timing, emotion, and pressure influence decisions, and what to do when something doesn’t feel right. The focus is on awareness, verification, and reporting—without fear or blame.

Facilitated by: Matthew Worthen, Dignified Services
