October is looming, and for many, that means the dreaded annual cybersecurity training. But on this week's ByteWise,we're here to tell you it doesn't have to be a snoozefest!

We kick off with Daniela's newfound obsession: the Darknet Diaries podcast. It's a thrilling deep dive into the underbelly of the internet, perfect for getting in the cybersecurity mindset. (Just maybe don't listen to it before bed!)

Then, we tackle the big question: How can we make cybersecurity awareness fun? Forget those click-through slideshows.We're talking:

The "Inside Man" - a binge-worthy series that had employees begging for more.
A treasure hunt that turned the office into a playful battleground.
A phishing contest that pitted departments against each other (with hilarious results).
Roundtable discussions that tapped into employee expertise and offered the chance to win prizes.
"Feature Friday" - a simple but effective way to put a human face on security.
And for the truly adventurous: tabletop exercises with a Dungeons & Dragons twist!

We also share a treasure trove of free resources to get you started. So, ditch the boring webinars and turn October into a month of cybersecurity excitement! Your employees (and your data) will thank you.
