Cybersecurity Awareness Month Toolkit
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, (formerly known as National Cyber Security Awareness Month or NCSAM). This is the perfect time to prioritize your business’s cybersecurity goals, and LastPass is just the solution to help you achieve them.
Whether your organization is already using LastPass, or you are planning to implement it soon, we have the tools you need to make your LastPass initiatives a success during Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
With our toolkit, you will have resources to help you increase your organization's engagement and adoption of LastPass, and make a big impact on your community’s cybersecurity. By the end of October, we want you to have taken real, meaningful steps toward a safer, more productive workplace.
Sample Cybersecurity Awareness Month initiatives
Here are just a few of our suggestions of activities and ways to use the Cybersecurity Awareness Month materials, but we encourage you to get creative!
If your business is new to Password Management:
- Invite more employees to your LastPass account. LastPass is not just for IT! Every employee in your workplace can benefit from the convenience and security of LastPass. For more information, see Learn how to add LastPass Business users.
