Cyber Security Awareness Month
October 2026
Empower your workforce and organisation with expert-led cyber security awareness programs and briefings.
Cyber attacks are increasing in both scale and sophistication. Threat actors are exploiting human error, outdated systems, and poor cyber hygiene to gain access to valuable data.
Cyber Security Awareness Month in October is an opportunity to sharpen staff understanding of how global threats intersect with your organisation’s risk environment, while equipping your workforce to be the first line of defence in protecting themselves and your organisation.
Expert-led cyber security awareness programs and briefings
Choose from a range of expert-led training and briefings, designed to help both organisations and individuals make informed and empowered decisions about cyber security.
Practical steps to build a cyber safe culture
Apply software updates
Install software and device updates promptly to close vulnerabilities and reduce exposure to known threats. Enable automatic updates wherever possible.
Strong, unique passphrases
Avoid reusing credentials across accounts. Unique, complex passphrases significantly limit unauthorised access. Consider using a password manager to maintain them securely.
Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA)
MFA adds an additional layer of protection by requiring a secondary verification step. It remains one of the simplest and most effective ways to secure accounts.
Maintain secure backups
Regularly back up critical files to an encrypted, offsite location. In the event of a cyber incident, reliable backups ensure business continuity and rapid recovery.
Stay alert to scams and phishing
Be cautious with emails, texts, and calls that request personal or financial information. Pause and verify before clicking links or sharing data.
