Wolfmasking
Most cybersecurity awareness training is passive, forgettable, and ineffective.
People click through slides, pass a quiz, and move on without changing behavior.
What if awareness training felt more like a game than a compliance exercise?
In this episode of Simply Cyber Firesides, host Gerald Auger, Ph.D. is joined by Brian Brushwood to discuss Wolfmasking, an interactive approach to cybersecurity awareness that turns employees into active participants instead of passive viewers.
Brian is widely known for blending entertainment, psychology, and social engineering through projects like Scam Nation, where he explores persuasion, deception, and human behavior in engaging and memorable ways.
His work has helped audiences better understand how manipulation works in the real world and how awareness can be built through participation and experience.
🎯 In this SC Firesides, you will learn:
Why traditional awareness training often fails
How competition and participation improve learning retention
What Wolfmasking is and how it works in practice
How organizations can build stronger security culture through engagement
