Workshops

Practice the behavior before the crisis.

Awareness tells people what to know. Workshops help people practice what to do.

9 Dot Consulting workshops help employees, leaders, and managers build practical cybersecurity skills through engaging presentations, live interaction, scenarios, discussion, polling, question and answer, and guided practice.

Designed for real decisions.

The goal is not to turn everyone into a security expert. The goal is to help people recognize human-facing cyber risks, verify unusual requests, report concerns, and respond with more confidence when something feels wrong.

Who workshops are for

  • All employees
  • Leaders and managers
  • Finance and payment-related teams
  • HR and recruiting teams
  • Client-facing teams
  • Mixed business and technical groups

Content can be tailored by role, industry, audience risk, and the behaviors the organization wants to improve.

Workshop topics

Human-facing attacks and impersonation

Phishing, suspicious email reporting, social engineering, business email compromise, payment fraud, vishing, smishing, and voice-based impersonation.

Verification culture and safe escalation

How employees can pause, confirm identity, question unusual requests, and report concerns without fear.

Credential theft and account protection

How attackers steal credentials, abuse MFA prompts, and use compromised accounts to expand access.

Confident skepticism without paranoia

How to build healthy caution without creating fear, cynicism, or unnecessary friction.

Leadership and manager workshops

For leaders and managers, workshops can focus on how to set expectations, communicate clearly, reinforce the right behaviors, and create a culture where people feel safe reporting concerns early.

How workshops are delivered

Workshops are designed to be practical and participatory, not passive.

Depending on the audience and business need, sessions may include real-world examples, live polling, group discussion, suspicious-message exercises, decision points, question and answer, and guided practice.

Offerings can be customized based on the organization's goals, audience, industry, risk context, and available time.

What participants should leave with

Participants should leave with a better understanding of the cybersecurity topic, practical skills they can immediately apply, and clearer expectations for what to do when something feels unusual, urgent, or suspicious.

The goal is not to overwhelm people with technical detail. The goal is to help them recognize real-world risk, practice better decisions, and know what to do next.

Give people room to practice.
