@XBusiness X Ads Manager feels like it is becoming less of a basic ad tool and more of a real performance engine. The early reach and delivery speed have been genuinely impressive from our testing so far.
Most cyber risk at work doesn’t look dangerous. It looks normal, until someone is busy, under pressure, or trying to be helpful. That’s why awareness matters. Not fear. Clear thinking. Better decisions. Follow @SmartsecAcademy for calm cybersecurity awareness built around human decision-making. #CyberAwareness #HumanFactors #SMEs
Most cyber attacks don't start with a technical failure. They start with a perfectly normal decision, made by a perfectly normal person, on a perfectly normal day. We published a short piece with @TheCPDService exploring how the things we rely on most at work, routine, familiarity, a sense of urgency, are exactly what attackers exploit. It's worth a read. cpduk.co.uk/news/how-norma… #CyberSecurity #CyberAwareness #HumanError #SocialEngineering
Most cybersecurity advice just overwhelms people. Too many rules. Too many warnings. In the middle of a normal busy day, no one remembers them all. Real risk often appears when someone is rushed, distracted, or trying to get through their workload. That is why simpler awareness works better. Clear thinking. Better decisions. #CyberAwareness #HumanFactors #Phishing
@XBusiness Clean interface, strong reach, and fast delivery so far. Easily one of the most impressive ad platforms we’ve tested recently.
@XBusiness Appreciate the repost, Aaron. X has been a very positive surprise so far, and it’s quickly becoming one of our main channels for visibility and advertising.
@XBusiness Very impressed with X Ads Manager so far. Even small awareness campaigns are generating serious visibility for SmartSec Academy.
@e_kaspersky Technology changes. Human pressure, urgency and deception stay surprisingly consistent.
A very important message. Many scams targeting older adults rely less on technical tricks and more on pressure, urgency, and misplaced trust. Nobody should ever feel forced to act immediately when money, personal details, or account access are involved. Pause, step away, and verify through a trusted source.
@kaspersky Good point. As fake identities become more convincing, verification cannot rely only on what looks real. The human layer matters too: slowing down, questioning unusual requests, and checking through trusted channels before acting.
@Panda_Security A message doesn’t have to look sloppy to be unsafe. If it creates urgency, asks for data, or pushes you to click or act quickly, pause and verify it through a second channel.
@XBusiness We’re excited to be among the early testers of X Ads Manager at SmartSec Academy. Even with a modest awareness budget, the early reach has been strong, and we’re looking forward to sharing more as we scale the test.
Helping older people recognise online scams is increasingly important. Short video series explaining how modern scams work and how to stay safe.Full video available free on our youtube channel
@kaspersky Good reminder. Trustworthy design does not always mean trustworthy intent. A clean-looking website can still create pressure, hide costs, or lead people into decisions they would not make if they paused first.
SmartSec Academy is now featured in the @memberstack showcase. We use Memberstack with Webflow to provide simple, login-based access to our cybersecurity awareness training content without building a full custom backend or LMS from scratch. Small milestone. Step by step. memberstack.com/showcase/smart… #SmartSecAcademy #Memberstack
@reportfrauduk Good reminder. Reverse image search is one of the simplest ways to spot fake profiles and romance scams early.
Think like a detective. 🕵️♂️ Scams can come in many forms, but they often leave clues. This #TakeFiveWeek26 we’re encouraging people to #ReadBetweenTheLies and stay one step ahead of scammers.
