There’s a lot of hype around AI agents… and for good reason. Teams around the world are using them to save time, automate everyday tasks, and carry out work from start to finish. That said, the average employee may not fully understand how AI agents work or the risks they pose. That’s why this week’s free Cybersecurity Awareness Month training covers all things AI agents. It includes newsletters, mini games, and videos (including the one below) that teach your users how AI agents work, what they’re capable of, and how to use them safely.

We kicked off Cybersecurity Awareness Month with AI safety basics, then moved into deepfakes and impersonation. Now, we're getting personal. Week 3 of Adaptive's free campaign is all about targeted AI attacks. Attackers can use information from LinkedIn, social media, and other public sources to craft convincing messages that reference your role, coworkers, and even projects you're working on. This week's training helps employees understand how attackers gather that information, what they should think twice about sharing publicly, and how to recognize a suspicious message, even when it feels personal.

We're bringing the cybersecurity community together this fall, and we've got some great events planned around the world. From dinner at Providence in Los Angeles and an evening at Classic Car Club Manhattan to dinner at Society in Melbourne, we're creating opportunities for security leaders to connect with peers over great food, drinks, and conversation. Prefer to skip the flights and hotels? We're also hosting a virtual premium whiskey tasting, so you can join the conversation from the comfort of home. Whether you're joining us in person or virtually, we'd love to see you there. Explore the full event lineup and save your spot: adaptivesecurity.com/resourc…

AI agents are changing both sides of cybersecurity. Attackers are using them to research targets, personalize attacks, and operate at a scale that wasn't possible before. Security teams are using them to investigate threats, automate response, and reduce manual work. On October 28, join Akhil Lohchab, Adaptive's Head of Machine Learning and former ML lead at Stripe, and Jonathan Grossman, our Director of Product Marketing, for a live webinar on how agents are reshaping attacks, security products, and the way security teams work. Drawing on more than a decade of experience building machine learning systems, Akhil will share what security leaders need to know about this next wave of AI.

Most companies wouldn't roll out a new technology across the business and figure out the security later. With AI, that's exactly what's happening. We sat down with M.K. Palmore to talk about what happens when AI adoption moves faster than the safeguards around it. After 22 years at the FBI and cybersecurity leadership roles at Palo Alto Networks and Google Cloud, M.K. now advises organizations as the founder of Apogee Global RMS. Our conversation covers how companies can adopt AI responsibly, how attackers are using the same technology against them, and why even a face-to-face video call may no longer be enough to prove someone is who they say they are.

Curious what Adaptive’s free Cybersecurity Awareness Month campaign has in store this week? Since it’s Week 1, we’re sticking to the basics. AI basics, that is. We have videos, posters, and newsletters covering how attackers use AI to carry out scams, how your employees can protect themselves, and simple steps they can take to keep their accounts secure. We even interviewed a reformed hacker so your team can hear it straight from the source… You can download all of this material and more for free! It’s our gift to cybersecurity leaders this October.

We love bringing security leaders together in person, but sometimes it's nice to skip the flight, hotel, and time away from home. So for one of our Cybersecurity Awareness Month events, we're bringing the experience to you. On October 22, we're hosting Whiskey Business, a virtual tasting where we'll ship a curated flight of premium whiskey straight to your door, then bring everyone together for a guided tasting and conversation from the comfort of home. Want to join us? Request a spot: adaptivesecurity.com/events/… Prefer to meet in person? We have plenty of those events too, including dinner at The French Laundry in Napa Valley, a private bowling night in Seattle, and a Michelin-starred evening in Los Angeles.

🎉 Our biggest month of the year is here! 🎉 Even if you haven’t thought about Cybersecurity Awareness Month for a second yet, you still have time to launch something great. Instead of spending October figuring out what to teach, what to send, and when to send it, you can start with a campaign that’s already built. Four weeks of content, mapped out from start to finish, so you can focus on getting employees engaged instead of building everything from scratch. Download it for free: adaptivesecurity.com/cyberse…

If you showed someone in 2004 Adaptive's Cybersecurity Awareness Month curriculum, they'd probably think you were writing science fiction. Back then, security awareness looked more like "don't click the weird attachment and keep your antivirus up to date" than "watch out for deepfakes and rogue AI agents." Cybersecurity Awareness Month was launched in 2004 by the U.S. government and the National Cybersecurity Alliance around a simple idea: technology alone can't keep us secure. People need the knowledge and habits to recognize risks and make safer decisions too. More than two decades later, that mission hasn't changed. The threats have. AI is changing both how employees work and how attackers operate, which means the lessons we teach need to evolve too. That's why Adaptive's free 2026 toolkit covers the fundamentals while preparing employees for what's happening now, from deepfake impersonation and targeted AI attacks to shadow AI and autonomous agents. It includes videos, newsletters, posters, ready-to-send messages, games, and more, all ready to use throughout October. Download the free toolkit: adaptivesecurity.com/cyberse…

If “build a Cybersecurity Awareness Month campaign” is still sitting on your to-do list, there is some good news: we already built one for you. The Adaptive team spent the last few months putting together a four-week campaign that you can download and start using with your employees. It includes professional videos, interactive games, posters, newsletters, and pre-written communications for your security team. The content starts with AI basics, then moves into deepfakes, targeted AI attacks, and the risks that come with AI tools and agents. And you don't need to be an Adaptive customer to use any of it. Our goal was simple: Instead of spending the next few weeks building your October plans from scratch, take ours, choose what works for your team, and hit send.

Your employees aren't waiting for security to approve every AI tool they want to use. They're already experimenting with new apps, connecting company and personal accounts, and finding ways to use AI to work faster. For security teams, the challenge isn't stopping that adoption. It's understanding what's already happening, where the real risks are, and where controls are actually needed. This Wednesday, Kevin Reichek and Jonathan Grossman will break down how to do exactly that. They'll show you how to uncover AI usage across company and personal accounts, identify the activity creating real risk, and put the right guardrails in place without slowing employees down.
