But if you don’t have the time, or prefer to skim, we’ve bookmarked key timestamps and soundbites below. 

 

0:40 – The Origin of NINJIO

 

5:01 – Why cybercrime is no laughing matter

KEY SOUNDBITES:

“If you’re educating faculty and staff on active shooter training, you’re not going to do that through a comedic approach. It’s a very serious topic. As is cyber.”

“There’s a difference between what people want to watch and what they should watch when it comes to cybersecurity training. NINJIO is both.”

 

7:55 – Why is animation more effective than live-action

KEY SOUNDBITES:

“Animation allows us to get immersive in the teachable moments.”

 

13:15 – What NINJIO has that no one else has

KEY SOUNDBITES:

“Content is your biggest way to differentiate yourself from your competitors.”

“We are a content-first company…content is our differentiator and our methodology.”

“Our methodology is neuroscience-backed.”

 

23:34 – How NINJIO adjusted to the pandemic and what security awareness training will look like in the post-COVID world

KEY SOUNDBITES:

“The term ‘WFH’? We’re eliminating that acronym. The new acronym is WFA, work-from-anywhere.”

“Going to a cafe [or library, other place to work]…that opens up a completely new threat landscape. You’re now not protected by your home and your Wi-Fi home that you and your IT team set up. You’re now out in the world.”

“I see the threats getting worse, the breaches getting worse, the attack vectors changing. It’s our job to stay on top of what those are and educate our customers on what that’s going to look like.”
