TL;DR: Effective role-based training matches actual job threats: executives practice wire fraud defense, developers learn dependency attacks, HR identifies resume malware. Generic training misses 80% of role-specific risks.

Role-Specific Threat Landscape

A developer's biggest threat isn't Nigerian princes—it's malicious code dependencies. An executive's risk isn't password complexity—it's targeted impersonation. Yet most training shows everyone the same generic threats.

Real-World Examples

Real role-based examples make the difference. Accounting sees fake invoices matching their actual vendors. IT gets alerts mimicking real system warnings. Sales receives bogus leads with embedded malware. Each scenario reflects actual attacks on that role.

Attack Success Rates

Industry data shows role-targeting increases attack success by 3x. Attackers research targets, craft role-appropriate lures, and exploit job-specific processes. Generic training can't prepare employees for this level of customization.

What Works by Role

Here's what works: Executives train on deepfake calls and wire fraud. Finance practices identifying fraudulent invoices and payment redirection. HR learns to spot weaponized resumes and W-2 scams. IT focuses on supply chain attacks and admin credential theft. This specificity through Kinds Security reduces successful attacks by matching training to actual threats.

Implementation at Scale

The implementation challenge is real. Large organizations have hundreds of roles. Manual content creation doesn't scale. Automated role detection and content mapping makes personalization feasible. Job titles, departments, and system access determine training paths.
