Every October, people around the world- from students and parents to large organizations and governments- take time to strengthen their online safety habits and learn how to protect their digital lives.
Microsoft’s pledge to our customers and our community is to prioritize your cybersafety above all else. Whether you’re running a Fortune 100 company, shopping online, or helping your kids with homework, we’re here to help you stay one step ahead of cyber threats. Our goal is simple: to give you the tools, tips, and confidence to be cybersmart every day.
In the past year, online threats have become more aggressive and harder to spot:
- Phishing scams are everywhere—fraudsters now mimic trusted brands to trick you into giving up passwords or personal info.
- Fraudulent websites are deceptive and often mimic legitimate businesses or government agencies, luring users into sharing sensitive information like passwords or credit card numbers.
- Identity theft is on the rise, with criminals using leaked personal data to open fake accounts or impersonate you online.
These attacks are fast, sneaky, and can be powered by artificial intelligence. That’s why you need to have a security-first mindset. Today, you need always-on protection that can spot suspicious behavior, predict hacker tactics, and respond quickly—before damage is done.
The following are a set of resources & training materials to help business users understand the security threats around them both at work and at home.
