Stellar Cyber Celebrates 2nd Anniversary of “Don’t Click It” Program with New Initiatives for Cybersecurity Awareness Month

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stellar Cyber, the cybersecurity illumination company, today announced the 2nd anniversary of its Don’t Click It program—an initiative launched in 2024 to raise awareness around online safety in an increasingly complex digital world.

Don’t Click It is built on a simple truth: if it seems too good to be true, don’t click it. Nearly three-quarters (73%) of Americans have experienced an online scam or attack. Stellar Cyber believes the cybersecurity community has a responsibility to help everyone build better digital instincts. Senior citizens are a frequent target of online scams; however, research shows that Gen Z is surprisingly the most at risk compared to Baby Boomers.

This year, the program takes on new energy as part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, highlighting the journey to a Human-augmented Autonomous SOC:

• Humans in Control – AI and automation drive speed, but humans remain at the heart of decision-making. Just as SOC analysts augment AI, people must sharpen their awareness to make safer online choices.
• Raising Awareness Everywhere – To celebrate Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Stellar Cyber and its partners are launching 30-second PSAs on LinkedIn from CyFlare, Blackswan Cybersecurity, Enhanced.io, ESET, and SpearTip bringing fun, engaging content to remind everyone: Don’t Click It.
• A National Call to Action – On October 16, Stellar Cyber will host the 2nd annual celebration of National Don’t Click It Day, mobilizing partners, customers, and communities to spread the word and encourage safe digital behavior.

“Cybersecurity is not just about platforms and AI—it’s about people,” said Steve Garrison, SVP Marketing at Stellar Cyber. “By blending human awareness with AI-augmented security operations, we can protect more people, more effectively. Don’t Click It is our way of raising awareness and making cybersecurity approachable for everyone.”
