A One-Day Behaviour-Change Programme for Every Employee

In today's world, your people are not your weakest link. With the right habits, the right mindset, and a reason to care, they become your first and last line of defence.

This one-day programme is not a standard cyber awareness course. It does not just tell people what threats exist. It changes how they think about security and builds habits that hold up long after they leave the room.

Delivered by a practitioner with over three decades of experience securing organisations across Asia-Pacific, this session is practical, interactive, and deliberately designed for non-technical audiences.

Objective

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Identify the most common cyber threats targeting individuals and organisations today, including phishing, deepfakes, ransomware, and social engineering
• Recognise which of the Seven Cybersecurity Personality Types they are, and understand how that shapes their vulnerability
• Apply four mindset shifts that move people from passive awareness to active protection
• Build practical daily habits around passwords, devices, email, browsing, and data safety
• Recognise their role as a cyber defender and why security is everyone's responsibility. Connect that responsibility to something personal, their family, their finances, their digital life, so that conviction becomes the foundation for lasting ownership and behaviour change

Who should attend

This workshop is designed for any employee who uses a device, sends an email, or accesses company systems. No technical background required.

It is especially valuable for:
• Business owners and senior managers who want their teams to take security seriously
• HR, finance, and operations professionals who handle sensitive data
• Customer-facing staff whose accounts and credentials are high-value targets for attackers
• Anyone who has ever thought: I would never fall for that

Methodology

This is not a lecture. Every module includes at least one interactive element - a live demonstration, a self-assessment, a group exercise, or a hands-on activity.

• Live demonstrations: see how real attacks work in real time, including lookalike domains, QR code risks, and password strength testing
• Self-assessments: participants rate their own security posture and identify their personality type
• Case studies: real breaches and local examples that connect the content to everyday decisions
• Interactive quiz: reinforces key messages and keeps energy high throughout the day
• Personal action plan: every participant leaves with specific steps they can take immediately

Participants consistently describe this as the first cybersecurity training that made them want to act, not just comply.

Testimonial

Alvin Rodrigues's Profile

Most organisations conduct cybersecurity training every year—yet many still experience breaches. Not because the training is incorrect, but because awareness alone does not change behaviour. Recognising a phishing email is one thing; having the instinct to pause before clicking is another.

Alvin Rodrigues has spent over three decades understanding and closing this gap. As the Founder and Human Firewall Builder of a Singapore-based company, he partners with HR leaders, L&D teams, and senior executives across the Asia-Pacific to design programmes that drive real behavioural change—not just knowledge acquisition.

He is also an adjunct faculty member teaching cybersecurity at ESSEC Business School’s Master’s programmes. Alvin has held senior leadership roles at global organisations such as Fortinet, Forcepoint, and Infoblox, bringing deep industry experience into his training approach.

An established thought leader, Alvin is the author of You Are Being Watched and has an upcoming publication with Penguin. His insights have been featured in media across 15 countries, and he is recognised as a LinkedIn Top Voice in Cybersecurity.

His core belief challenges conventional thinking: people are not the weakest link. With the right training, conviction, and habits, they become the organisation’s strongest line of defence.
