Five years ago the Belgian banks banded together to make this fantastic TV commercial, sharing the story of Dave, an extremely gifted clairvoyant who knows some pretty specific personal and financial information. It effectively engaged millions of consumers about the fact that their entire life can be found online and encouraging everybody to be vigilant.

Have a look at the video and you'll see it is even more relevant today than it was in 2012, and we know the consequences are even more frightening.

If you feel like cyber security training is a big headache for your C-suite and employees, involving boring slideshow training, oppressive rules and someone tell you what not to do all the time, it might be a good time to view this video for some creative inspiration.

Watch the video, share it with your human resources and communications teams, and ask them for help to make information security fun again!

It doesn't matter whether you are training the C-suite in cyber security or helping developers in JAVA or C# secure coding skills, there's a place for creativity, gamification and fun.
