01 / WHY THIS EXISTS
Awareness should change behavior—not just complete training.
This resource set is designed for teams that need a credible October campaign without building one from scratch. Use the pieces as-is, adapt the language to your environment, and connect every lesson to a concrete action.

Operational checklist
Small Business Cybersecurity Checklist

Educational resources only. Adapt them to your organization's policies, reporting paths, legal obligations, and approved technology stack.
03 / Four-week plan
A month people can actually follow.
Each week has one theme, one behavior to reinforce, and one operational action for the organization.
- 01
Identity & access
Protect accounts
Strengthen MFA coverage, unique credentials, and password-manager adoption.
- 02
Phishing & social engineering
Recognize & report
Make suspicious-message reporting easy and teach people to verify unusual requests.
- 03
AI & data security
Think before you paste
Define approved AI tools and what data may—or may not—be entered.
- 04
Patching, backups & readiness
Recover well
Keep systems current, test restores, and make incident escalation obvious.
04 / AYLIEA DIFFERENTIATOR
Cybersecurity awareness now includes AI data decisions.
Employees are making security decisions every time they paste company information into an AI assistant, meeting bot, coding tool, or generative service. The question is not simply “is AI allowed?” It is whether the specific tool, account, use case, and data type are approved.

Public or intentionally published information.
CHECK FIRST
Internal material where policy, contract, configuration, or classification matters.
STOP
Credentials, restricted data, regulated data, or prohibited confidential information.
05 / AFTER THE MONTH
Turn awareness findings into security work.
A useful campaign usually exposes operational gaps: weak MFA coverage, unclear reporting, stale vendor access, untested restores, or AI use without a documented boundary. Assign owners and close the gaps rather than ending with a completion percentage.
