Cyber Security Awareness Month: Secure your identity with a passkey

Internal News | 02.10.2026

October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, with this year’s theme, “Secure your identity with a passkey,” focusing on stronger sign-in methods and everyday habits that protect company and personal data at work, on board and at home.

Cybercriminals do not always target technology first. Often, they target people through stolen passwords, deceptive messages and other attempts to gain access to accounts. Our digital identities are valuable, and protecting them is one of the most effective ways to reduce cyber risk.

Passkeys offer a quicker, safer and more phishing-resistant way to sign in. Whenever this option is available, using a passkey can provide stronger protection for both company and personal data.

Small habits also make a big difference:

  • Use strong, unique passwords and avoid reusing them across accounts.

  • Turn on multifactor authentication wherever it is available.

  • Use passkeys when they are offered.

  • Be careful with unexpected emails, messages, links and attachments.

  • Report suspicious activity or possible scams immediately.

  • Keep devices and software up to date.

Whether you are on board a vessel, working ashore or at home, the same habits protect you, your family and Odfjell.

Do not make it easy for cybercriminals. Protect your identity, use passkeys where available and stay alert at work and at home.
