Cyber Security Awareness Month, observed annually in October, is a global initiative designed to raise awareness about the importance of protecting personal and business data in an increasingly digital world. With the growing prevalence of cyberattacks, data breaches, and online fraud, Cyber Security Awareness Month aims to educate individuals and organisations on best practices to protect themselves from cyber threats.

The campaign highlights the importance of strong passwords, software updates, multi-factor authentication, and staying vigilant against phishing attacks and malware. It also encourages organisations to invest in robust cybersecurity measures, employee training, and the latest technology to safeguard their data and systems. As more people work from home and rely on digital platforms, the need for cybersecurity awareness has never been more critical.

Cyber Security Awareness Month helps promote safe online behaviour and equips individuals with the tools and knowledge to protect their personal and financial information from cybercriminals.
