Living Security Launches “OctoberRewired”: The First AI-Powered, Risk-Based Evolution of Cybersecurity Awareness Month

New data-driven solution turns awareness into measurable risk reduction with real-time intelligence and targeted engagement.

AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2025 / Living Security, the global leader in Human Risk Management, today announced the launch of OctoberRewired, the industry’s first AI-powered, risk-based approach to Cybersecurity Awareness Month in October. Designed to move enterprises beyond generic, check-the-box training, OctoberRewired uses intelligent human risk insights to help security teams target the riskiest behaviors, deliver precision-driven training and prove return on investment with executive-ready analytics.

For more than two decades, Cybersecurity Awareness Month has raised visibility across organizations-but most programs still focus on surface-level engagement, measuring clicks rather than real behavior change. Meanwhile, over 90% of cyber incidents still trace back to human error, often driven by an unaddressed 8-10% of users who pose the greatest risk.

Unlike traditional awareness campaigns, OctoberRewired flips the script, transforming Cybersecurity Awareness Month from a moment of engagement to a strategic, data-backed risk reduction campaign. Powered by Living Security’s AI-driven Unify platform and enhanced by the Human Intelligence Team (HInT), OctoberRewired pinpoints high-risk users, delivers targeted interventions, and measures real-world improvements in organizational security posture.

“October has become a valuable moment to engage the organization-but awareness alone is no longer enough,” said Ashley Rose, CEO and Co-Founder of Living Security. “OctoberRewired is designed to help enterprises turn this annual effort into a strategic initiative that directly impacts risk posture. It’s fast, focused, and finally measurable.”
