It is never too late to improve your online security and cyber hygiene. This month is all about understanding what cyber security is, how to maintain good cyber hygiene, and being aware of the risks in the digital world. To defend against cyber threats, we emphasise personal accountability.
Cyber Security Awareness Month is every October. The month promotes cyber security awareness. It originates in the United States of America. The National Cyber Security Alliance established National Cyber Security Awareness Month in 2004 to assist citizens in staying safe and secure online. Aside from staying safe and secure online, we want to emphasise the importance of citizens being proactive and responsible for their cyber security. This month’s topics will be cyber security and accessibility.
Simplifying Cyber Security
Today, digital communication is taking over. We will continue to communicate online, download and install software from the Internet, and share data through social media channels. This means that we will continue to expose ourselves to cyber security threats. We will continue to receive such threats in our email inboxes or in personal chats that target our sensitive data online.
Even in the perfect AI world, human creativity triumphs. Cybercriminals, who are as inventive as online users, find ways to defeat even the most advanced artificial intelligence. The only technological cyber walls available are insufficient. Human interaction is required to build cyber walls.
Cyber security may appear to be a complex issue, but it is more of a day-to-day issue that we all face. It is critical to understand that we can and should change our behaviour in response to cyber security threats. Today, we raise awareness of cyber security threats and online communication actions.
