LOS ANGELES, June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NINJIO, a leader in cybersecurity awareness training and human risk management, today announced the release of its updated Core Four for 2026, a foundational cybersecurity awareness training course designed for employee onboarding and new client deployments.
Updated annually, the Core Four establishes a cybersecurity awareness baseline for employees and addresses the threats most commonly associated with real-world security incidents, including phishing, social engineering, credential theft, and deepfake-enabled fraud. Organizations use the Core Four to help employees develop verification habits and reduce human cyber risk before transitioning into ongoing security awareness training.
The 2026 Core Four includes four NINJIO AWARE episodes focused on today’s most prevalent social engineering attack techniques and human-targeted cyber threats:
Generative AI Threats: AI-Powered Phishing (Season 10, Episode 2)
Attackers use Generative AI to create polished, personalized phishing at scale, so typo-spotting is no longer dependable. This episode trains employees to verify requests through trusted channels before clicking links or sharing data.
Social Engineering: Pretexting from Previous Breaches (Season 9, Episode 10)
Criminals reuse old breach data to build credible pretexts that feel routine. This episode teaches employees to recognize weaponized context and confirm sensitive requests.
Password Hygiene: Credential Stuffing (Season 9, Episode 6)
Automated bots test leaked credentials across business systems, and password reuse makes takeover easy. This episode reinforces the need for unique passwords, multifactor authentication, and password managers.
