Cybersecurity Awareness Month: 5 Employee Habits That Still Put Companies at Risk

Every October, Cybersecurity Awareness Month reminds us that people remain the most common entry point for cyberattacks. Despite training, employees still click phishing links, reuse passwords, and ignore software update prompts. A single mistake can lead to major breaches, especially in smaller environments without layered protection.

Reinforcing security awareness isn’t just an annual event — it’s a cultural shift. Regular micro-trainings, phishing simulations, and clear reporting policies help create a workforce that’s alert, not anxious.

  • Reinforce training with real-world examples and short reminders.

  • Enforce MFA across all accounts and cloud apps.

  • Reward secure behavior and clear reporting of suspicious activity.
