KnowBe4 Releases Free Cybersecurity Awareness Month Resource Kit
New “Secret Agent” themed campaign-in-a-box equips organisations with training module and tabletop exercises to educate employees to combat cybercrime
KnowBe4, the leader in digital workforce security, securing both AI agents and humans, today released its free resource kit in support of Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2026. This year’s toolkit casts employees as “Secret Agents” in the elite Workforce Risk Division and provides IT leaders with tools to build organisational resilience against evolving cyber threats.
Observed every October, Cybersecurity Awareness Month is an international initiative led by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Cybersecurity Alliance. The campaign provides organisations worldwide an opportunity to strengthen their security culture by driving awareness around social engineering, artificial intelligence threats, data security and active threat reporting.
“Cybersecurity Awareness Month is an opportunity for the security community to present engaging, new content to their users and drive home the importance of staying secure, even if they have existing security awareness training,” says Erich Kron, CISO advisor at KnowBe4. “With cybercriminals adopting AI-driven tactics such as deepfakes and advanced social engineering, threats are continuously evolving and organisations need fresh, engaging ways to keep users vigilant. This year’s kit turns security awareness into an interactive mission, empowering employees to see themselves as active defenders.”
"Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a reminder that cybersecurity is more than an IT issue,” said Lisa Plaggemier, executive director, National Cybersecurity Alliance. “Cybersecurity skills are life skills. Every person, family, and organisation has a role to play in creating a safer digital world. We're grateful to partners like KnowBe4 who help expand the reach of this important work and make it possible to equip more people with practical guidance.”
