About this kit.

The Proofpoint Cybersecurity Awareness Kit theme is “Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart.” And it focuses on how everyone should own their role in cybersecurity. 

This Kit is designed to help you leverage both new and existing programs to keep your users cyber smart about social engineering and other cybersecurity threats. This 4-week program improves their ability to identify, resist and report threats that can lead to breaches and data loss. Because a secure culture starts with people.

The kit includes:

  • A complete four-week rollout plan covering cybersecurity, phishing, ransomware and identity protection
  • 7 informative and engaging videos that bring Cybersecurity Awareness Month to life
  • Helpful infographics, flyers and emails

 

How to use this kit.

User awareness and knowledge is critical to reducing cybersecurity risks. To help organisations raise user awareness, we’ve curated a selection of free resources to support your user’s recognition and reporting of social engineering and other cybersecurity threats.

The next tabs provide documents and links that can be used throughout the proposed campaign. You’ll find descriptions on how to use the materials under each 'week'. We’ve also developed a suggested communication plan and schedule, including guidance and tips for a successful execution of a Cybersecurity Awareness Month campaign.
