What is Oh Behave!? 

Oh Behave! is our annual report examining global cybersecurity attitudes, behaviors, and trends. Conducted in partnership with CybSafe, the report surveyed over 25,000 individuals from 2021-2025 across 9 countries to explore how people approach online security, their concerns, and where gaps remain. 

Why it matters 

Every year, the Oh Behave! report underscores the evolving cybersecurity landscape, highlighting the growing impact of AI, rising cyber threats, and the urgent need for better education and protection strategies. As cybersecurity risks become more complex, individuals, businesses, and policymakers must work together to build a safer digital world.
