Security News > 2022 > November > Is Cybersecurity Awareness Month Anything More Than PR?

Cybersecurity reporter Sean Lyngass tweeted that Cybersecurity Awareness Month is full of PR pitches capitalizing on security breaches.

Anne Cutler, PR executive at Keeper Security, replied, "You are mistaken. It's actually called Cybersecurity PR teams will hold no prisoners and raise awareness whether you like it or not month. You may now consider yourself aware."

The Register took a sobering look at awareness month and its inherent challenges in the "National Cybersecurity Awareness program 18 years on: Don't click that."

The Register clarifies that the success or failure of Cybersecurity Awareness Month rests with how you measure it.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month and "The things you can do" worked well enough.

Going beyond Cybersecurity Awareness Month means organizations are responsible for their end-users cybersecurity education, but there are also technical solutions that can solve for bad end-user behavior and still safeguard your organizations' IT security.
