KnowBe4, a leading global provider of human risk management solutions, has announced the release of its complimentary resource kit in recognition of Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2025. This year’s initiative is centered around the theme “Secure Our World”, highlighting the importance of building stronger digital habits across organizations and individuals.

Originally introduced in 2004 by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in collaboration with the National Cyber Security Alliance, Cybersecurity Awareness Month has grown into a worldwide effort to encourage safer online practices. The 2025 campaign emphasizes practical steps such as creating strong passwords, using phishing-resistant multifactor authentication (MFA), recognizing malicious emails, and keeping devices and applications updated.

“Every October, we have a chance to refocus on human risk management, which lies at the heart of cybersecurity,” said Erich Kron, Security Awareness Advocate at KnowBe4. “This year’s toolkit provides organizations with engaging resources to strengthen security culture. By educating employees on both the what and the why, we not only safeguard sensitive data but also contribute to the larger mission to Secure Our World.”

The arcade-inspired toolkit from KnowBe4 includes:

  • Four themed “Arcade Villain” cards designed to illustrate common cyberthreats in a playful, retro style
  • “Insights From a Hacker” and “AI, Phishing, and Cybersafety” are two examples of interactive training courses that are available in up to 36 languages.
  • Downloadable posters and digital signage for office and remote environments
  • A structured Weekly Planner to help organizations coordinate Cybersecurity Awareness Month activities
  • The kit is available free of charge for organizations worldwide.
