Did you know that October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month?
But also, what is cybersecurity awareness?
Cybersecurity Awareness refers to every individual’s knowledge about cybersecurity threats — including what they are, how to prevent and respond to them, and the consequences of a cyber breach.
Does everyone need cybersecurity awareness? Yes!
Whether you are a part of a large organization, small business, and anyone at home, it is important to keep the interconnected world a safe place!
And that is exactly what the National Cybersecurity Alliance aims to do with National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Every October they work to create and empower a safer digital world.
Cybint is proud to be a Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2020 Champion, which means we are dedicated to helping companies and individuals experience a more secure interworld.
In 2020, we know that online safety is more important than ever. This year, companies and individuals alike have been called to “Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart”.
What does this mean? It is a call for everyone to educate themselves in the best cybersecurity practices to keep individuals, homes, and companies safe from the ever-growing and evolving cyber risks.
Each week during Cybersecurity Awareness Month focuses on a different theme to answer the various challenges we face in the cyberworld.
