What the film says

Four fifty-two on a Friday. An email lands. It says it's from payroll.

There's a problem with your pay, and you need to log in before five. Liam works in accounts at an energy company. He did the cyber awareness module in March: thirty slides, and a quiz about passwords.

He passed. He's tired, it's his pay, and the clock says four fifty-three. He clicks.

He types his password. On Monday, nobody in accounts can log in. Now picture the module as a short story, told from Liam's inbox.

The same Friday, the same email. The wrong way: he clicks. The right way: he stops for three seconds.

The sender's address is one letter off. Payroll has never given anyone seven minutes to do anything. He reports it with one button, and goes home.

Then it's the learner's turn. A text from the director, asking for a quick favour before a meeting. Reply, or report?

That's story-based training. At Explainer Makers, we've spent thirty years inside large corporate IT departments. We show your people the three seconds that matter.

If your staff pass the cyber quiz but still click, we're happy to talk. Just visit explainermakers.com or send a message on LinkedIn.
