Global security frameworks set the baseline, but they don't finish the job. The people closest to users—community leaders, educators, grassroots advocates—spot emerging threats early because they understand what global frameworks can't: cultural attack vectors, language-specific phishing, offline-online fraud patterns, and region-specific social engineering tactics. Yet most companies engage them through awareness programs outside core security operations, treating local voices as feedback channels rather than threat intelligence sources. This session argues for a different model: local insight as a security layer. Learn practical ways to integrate local intelligence into threat assessments, add context checkpoints to security workflows, and treat community signals as early warning systems that adapt global defenses in real time.
