Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Equip your team with the intel they need to stay ahead of global threat actors and threats such as social engineering and AI deepfakes.
Transforming your workforce into a frontline defense force just got a lot easier. We've done the heavy lifting with a free collection of resources. This campaign-in-a-box for Cybersecurity Awareness Month casts your employees as "Secret Agents" in the struggle against cybercrime.
In addition to free training modules and supporting posters and documents, we've included four "Specialist" Character Cards that personify the skills needed to navigate today's threat landscape. You'll also find four pre-built tabletop exercise scenarios designed to be run in person or virtually to help your team build resilience against threats to come.
This October, each of the four themed weeks represents a new mission for your users to undertake. Along the way, they'll meet four Workforce Risk Division Specialists, each with unique skills to tackle the cyber threats of each week.
The Assets:
- NEW! Four "Workforce Risk Division Specialist" character cards/posters, plus additional posters and digital signage assets available in multiple languages
- NEW! Four tabletop exercise documents to test team skills in real-life scenarios across multiple common cybersecurity risk types
- Access to a curated collection of security awareness training videos and interactive modules straight from KnowBe4's award-winning training library
- Resources to help you plan your activities, including your Cybersecurity Awareness Month Resource Kit Strategy Dossier and Cybersecurity Awareness Weekly Planner
- A top-secret Mission Brief on a KnowBe4 free tool
- Access to two of our newest on-demand webinars and whitepapers
The Missions:
Week 1: Phishing and Social Engineering: The most sophisticated spies don't break in; they talk their way in. This week focuses on the subtle red flags of social engineering that technical filters might miss and how to spot them.
Week 2: AI Safety and Deepfakes: Delve into the seedy underbelly of AI to teach users how bad actors use generative tools to create perfect clones and scripts. Your agents must rely on their most valuable asset, their critical thinking skills, to verify what’s real.
Week 3: Data Security and Passwords: Sensitive data is currency in the modern world; and bad actors are willing to do anything to get it. Make sure your agents know the value of what they protect and what’s at stake if it gets out.
Week 4: Incident Reporting: In the Workforce Risk Division, keeping ears to the ground is a vital part of an operation. This week ensures every agent knows exactly how to signal for backup when they see something suspicious.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month is an international initiative that educates everyone about online safety and empowers individuals and businesses to protect their data from cybercrime.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Cybersecurity Alliance co-lead the campaign and create resources for organizations to talk to their employees and customers about staying safe online. KnowBe4 is proud to be a 2026 Cybersecurity Awareness Month Champion.
