Every company should be hardening their employees against cyber attack. This is typically done through training and awareness campaigns. Creating the materials for an engaging campaign can be costly and time consuming. Aligning with national and international campaigns can help strengthen training and awareness programs without much effort on teams.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month, every October, is a collaboration between government and private industry to raise awareness about digital security and empower everyone to protect their personal data from digital forms of crime.
The month is dedicated to creating resources and communications for organizations to talk to their employees and customers about staying safe online.
