Cyber threats can be scary, and for good reason. Malware can be lurking in a suspicious email your users get convinced to click. All it takes is one crack in the door of your network to let all the wrong ones in; spear phishing witches, ravenous ransomwolves, you name it!
But never fear! While torches, pitchforks and silver bullets never put down a data breach, a resilient security culture in your organization is your best bet for keeping the beasts at bay. We’ve put together a set of resources you can use throughout the entire month of October to help your users keep up their cybersecurity defenses.
For you: our most popular security awareness on-demand webinar and whitepaper, resources for planning your training, and new templates to use in your campaigns. For your users: suggested training, infographics, new cyber-monster character cards and posters, plus new newsletters, security docs, and awareness tips that will help to keep them on their toes with security top of mind.
This guide walks you through user resources included in your kit, suggestions for how to use them, and campaign ideas to get you started.
This training planner is packed with all of the great resources for users you see below. We put them into a weekly plan as an example for when to send each of the resources to your users.
The 2023 Phishing By Industry Benchmarking Report compiles results from the fifth annual study by KnowBe4 and reveals at-risk users across 19 industries that are susceptible to phishing or social engineering attacks. Taking it a step further, the research reveals radical drops in careless clicking after 90 days and 12 months of simulated phishing testing and security awareness training using the KnowBe4 platform.
This paper will help break down the critical components of a successful security awareness program and connect them together into something comprehensive, continuous and engaging.

What is ransomware – or phishing? And what does it have to do with my data? And my organization’s security? But above all: How can I protect myself? The “Overview Cyberattacks” video module provides an initial overview of the most widespread attack methods, raises awareness of data security, and shows that cybersecurity training sessions are an effective way to protect...data, employees, and the organization.
