European Cyber Security Month 2026: Ready-to-Use 4-Week Campaign Kit to Boost Security Awareness
📢 European Cyber Security Month Is One Week Away @channel Every October, European Cyber Security Month (ECSM) puts security awareness front and center across organisations – a great moment to sharpen employees’ instincts against the threats that matter most right now. And the threat landscape is evolving fast. Attackers increasingly use the same AI tools we do, making scams more convincing and harder to spot. That’s why we’ve built a ready-to-use 4-week campaign kit to help you run a focused ECSM programme with your teams, covering phishing, voice scams, Shadow AI and deepfakes. 🗓️ The four weeks at a glance:
Week 1 – Phishing: spotting AI-generated phishing attempts
Week 2 – Voice Scams: recognising AI voice cloning and vishing
Week 3 – Shadow AI: safe use of AI tools at work
Week 4 – Deepfakes: identifying manipulated video/audio content
Each week includes a Scene Inspector challenge, a short game, and one practical rule employees can apply immediately. 🎮
What's included in the kit:
Ready-to-use assets for all 4 weeks
Email templates for weekly comms
Reporting template to track engagement
Recognition template to celebrate participation ⭐
