SANTA CLARA, Calif., September 6, 2023 — CybeReady, a global leader in security awareness training, today announced new Cybersecurity Awareness Month Training Toolkits to help organizations protect against emerging security threats generated by increasingly powerful AI tools now in the hands of hackers. The proactive training kits are available for free download here and provide guidance that CISOs and other security leaders can leverage to better secure their organizations against potentially catastrophic, AI-driven cyberattacks and data breaches.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month was launched by the American National Cybersecurity Alliance and the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in October 2004 and dubbed “a broad effort to help all Americans stay safer and more secure online.” Initially, awareness efforts were focused on points like antivirus updates and rogue external devices.

While the history of security awareness is well-known, changes in recent years include the rise of LLMs (Large Language Models) and Generative AI across and throughout all industries.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has dramatically transformed a wide range of industry sectors, from healthcare to finance, but its implications for cybersecurity cannot be ignored. While AI offers advancements in threat detection and defense mechanisms, it is also being leveraged by malicious actors to develop more sophisticated hacking tools who now utilize AI-driven algorithms to automate their tasks. Very importantly, cyber threats have evolved with the incorporation of AI, allowing attackers to craft more believable and targeted messages. Hackers are rapidly innovating in this area to craft more potent attacks, illustrating the ever-changing cat-and-mouse dynamic in the realm of digital security.
Protecting an organization from AI-generated cyberattacks requires a combination o ..
