  1. Once, on the first day
  2. Repeated at regular intervals ✔
  3. Only after a breach

Why: Scams change all the time, so one video is not enough. Short, regular refreshers keep the warning signs fresh.

Huh, didn't know that: CISA also says most security breaches are avoidable if people are trained to spot phishing.
