Security Awareness Programs & Computer-Based Training

Training & Security Leadership
Every October, organizations revisit the same cybersecurity routines. “Security is everyone’s responsibility,” makes the rounds. However, if awareness alone were enough, we would not see so many security incidents linked to human behavior.

This year, it’s time to aim higher.
At CyberEd.io, we’re offering early access to our Cybersecurity Awareness Month (CSAM) Toolkit. It is designed for CISOs, Education/Training teams, Learning & Development, and GRC professionals who want to go beyond one-time awareness events. The goal is not just to check a box, but to create meaningful and measurable behavior change across the organization.
Awareness Is Only the First Step
Our Cybersecurity Awareness Month Toolkit was built to support real change across your organization. It helps security teams plan better, communicate more effectively, and integrate human risk into their broader cybersecurity strategy. It’s meant to empower technical leaders with the tools and resources to guide their organization toward better decisions and lower risk.
Every Employee Can Be a Target
Security tools are essential, but they cannot stop a single poor decision made in haste. Attackers look for human weaknesses. They observe how teams work, how individuals respond under pressure, and where confusion can be exploited.
Think about a salesperson who quickly clicks on a calendar invite, or a new employee who receives a fake message from someone posing as IT. These are not failures of technology but rather lapses in behavior.
If we want better outcomes, we need to design awareness efforts with behavior in mind.
You Can’t Improve What You Don’t Track
Too often, the success of a security awareness program is measured in phishing click rates or compliance completion numbers. These may check the box, but they don’t answer the hard questions.
- Are risky behaviors decreasing over time?
- Which teams face the most persistent threats?
- What kind of messages or attacks are most likely to succeed?
These are the kinds of insights for long-term improvement that the CyberEd.io CSAM Toolkit helps security teams explore and act on.
October Should Start the Conversation, Not End It
Cybersecurity Awareness Month offers a valuable opportunity, but that opportunity shouldn’t end on October 31st. It should be the beginning of an intentional, ongoing effort to influence behavior, reduce human risk, and build a resilient security culture.
Built to support your efforts, the CyberEd.io CSAM Toolkit includes planning resources, training support, real-world threat scenarios, and conversation starters that can help technical teams create momentum within their organizations.
