Secure Our World: Cyber Security Awareness Month 2024

Kick Off Cyber Security Awareness Month: Secure Our World Together!

Welcome to Cyber Security Awareness Month 2024! This year, we're talking about a simple but powerful message: Secure Our World. Cyber threats are everywhere, and it’s more important than ever to protect our organisations, personal data, and online lives. Throughout October, we’ll be sharing vital information and tips to help you stay safe and secure in our hyper connected world.  

Here’s what you can expect this month

1. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): The first line of defence against cyber threats is strong authentication. We’ll explore how MFA can protect your accounts by adding an extra layer of security, making it harder for cyber criminals to gain access.

2. QR Code Scams: QR codes are everywhere, but they can also be a gateway for scams. Learn how to recognise malicious QR codes and avoid falling victim to these increasingly common traps.

3. Phishing: One of the most prevalent cyber threats today, phishing continues to evolve in complexity. We’ll provide insights into identifying and avoiding phishing attempts, whether they come via email, text, or social media.

4. Online Gaming: While gaming is fun, it’s also a potential target for cyber criminals. We’ll discuss the security risks associated with online gaming and share tips on how to protect your accounts and personal information.

Throughout Cyber Security Awareness Month, we’ll be diving deep into these topics, providing you with the knowledge and tools to secure your world. Be sure to visit our Cyber Security Awareness Month toolkit for access to all our resources and stay informed about the latest cyber threats and how to combat them.

Let’s work together to create a safer online environment for everyone. Stay tuned and stay secure!
