Organizations use the Core Four to help employees develop verification habits and reduce human cyber risk before transitioning into ongoing security awareness training.<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 Core Four includes four NINJIO AWARE episodes focused on today&#8217;s most prevalent social engineering attack techniques and human-targeted cyber threats:<\/p>\n<p>Generative AI Threats: AI-Powered Phishing (Season 10, Episode 2)<br class=\"dnr\"\/>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.<\/p>\n<p>Social Engineering:\u00a0Pretexting from Previous Breaches (Season 9, Episode 10)<br class=\"dnr\"\/>Criminals reuse old breach data to build credible pretexts that feel routine. This episode teaches employees to recognize weaponized context and confirm sensitive requests.<\/p>\n<p>Password Hygiene: Credential Stuffing (Season 9, Episode 6)<br class=\"dnr\"\/>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.<\/p>\n<p>Generative AI Threats:\u00a0Deepfake Video&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/ninjio-releases-2026-core-four-cybersecurity-awareness-fundamentals-course-to-address-emerging-threats-302793125.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NINJIO Releases 2026 Core Four Cybersecurity Awareness Fundamentals Course to Address Emerging Threats https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/ninjio-releases-2026-core-four-cybersecurity-awareness-fundamentals-course-to-address-emerging-threats-302793125.html Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":268292,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/mmx.prnewswire.com\/media\/MS1184214\/ninjio_Logo.jpg?id=OA2689542&p=facebook","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,30,25,57],"class_list":["post-268291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-breach","tag-phishing","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268291"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=268291"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268291\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":268293,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268291\/revisions\/268293"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/268292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=268291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=268291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
