Choose templates that align with the holidays celebrated by your global audience. Schedule posts ahead of major holidays, or use them to spotlight lesser-known occasions for inclusivity. Encourage responses by tagging members, adding festive images, or sharing your own traditions in the comments. Monitor replies and acknowledge contributions to foster ongoing conversation.
For all platforms, keep posts visually engaging with images or emojis when allowed, use clear calls to action, and respond promptly to member comments. Adapt post length to fit platform norms, and consider platform-specific features like polls or stories to boost participation.
Holiday seasons see a spike in social engineering and phishing attacks as cybercriminals exploit festive themes. Use these holiday content ideas to create posts warning your community about common holiday-themed phishing tactics, such as fake e-greeting cards or fraudulent charity solicitations. Include tips for verifying sender authenticity and recognizing suspicious links, and encourage members to share real-world examples they've encountered.
Integrate recent threat reports or advisories related to holiday-specific cyber risks—such as ransomware campaigns targeting retailers—into your posts. Frame the content in a solution-focused manner: spotlight best practices, recent case studies, or ways members can harden their defenses during peak attack periods, while avoiding sensationalism. For example, discuss how to recognize and report suspicious activity during Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales.
Absolutely! Holidays often mean members are working remotely from less-secure locations like hotels or airports. Adapt the holiday post templates to share actionable tips on using VPNs, avoiding public Wi-Fi, and managing device security on the go. Encourage members to share their own stories or checklists for staying cyber-safe while traveling.
Customize your holiday posts by referencing responsibilities unique to different roles. For SOC analysts, focus on incident response tips or monitoring for seasonal threat patterns. For CISOs, craft posts around risk management or updating holiday coverage in security policies. The templates offer prompts where you can easily insert role-specific guidance to maximize relevance and engagement.
Leverage the interactive elements in these templates to create holiday-themed security awareness games. For instance, post a screenshot of a suspicious holiday email and challenge members to identify red flags. Offer digital badges or recognition for correct answers to boost engagement. These activities reinforce real-world vigilance in a festive, community-driven way.
Use the holiday theme to creatively remind members of critical compliance deadlines or protocol changes—such as GDPR considerations for holiday promotions or PCI DSS reminders for year-end transactions. Infuse your posts with humor or visual elements (like festive compliance checklists) to capture attention, ensuring important regulatory information isn’t overlooked amidst the seasonal activity.
