To celebrate Cybersecurity Awareness Month this year, KnowBe4 customers from various industries and backgrounds are sharing their innovative and exciting approaches to promote cybersecurity awareness and empower their employees from our resource kit. In this blog post, we'll dive into the creative ways these organizations are embracing the spirit of our cyber-monsters this October!
2023 Cybersecurity Awareness Month Activities
Before we explore how our customers are celebrating Cybersecurity Awareness Month, let's take a quick look at what we've done so far to champion this cause.
Our initiatives include 5 Weeks of Cyber Monsters, where we engaged with our Spiceworks community with an array of threats that can wreck your network. And our evangelists shared the following posts:
- Martin Kraemer on Frankenphisher - the social engineering and artificial intelligence monster
- James McQuiggan on Ransomwolf - how to stop attacks similar to werewolf terrors
- Jacqueline Jayne on Count Hackula - tips to not get bit by bad password hygiene
- Roger Grimes on Spoofy Steve - business email compromise scams your organization should watch out for
- Anna Collard on Breachatrix Le Phish - mindful defense enchantments to avoid spear phishing attacks
We also revamped our Children's Activity Kit to help teach your kid's the importance of online safety and cybersecurity skills. You'll be able to make learning about cybersecurity fun with the password zapper, new Roblox game, clickbait cootie catcher and spot the phish games. Let them explore their creative side with the security cat coloring book. Protect them from cyberbullying scenarios with our video module on the topic.
Now, let's see how some of our customers are putting these tools and their own creative ideas into action.

Even the City of Mission Viejo IT department joined in on the fun and decorated their cubicles with our cyber-monsters!
Thank you to all of our customers for sharing how you celebrated Cybersecurity Awareness Month this year! As we conclude our celebrations, let's educate ourselves, our colleagues, and our communities about the importance of maintaining safe cybersecurity hygiene beyond just October. Stay safe out there!
