Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Cybersecurity Awareness Month is an annual event held every October to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and data from digital attacks.

These attacks can aim to change, or destroy sensitive information, extort money from users, or disrupt normal business operations.

This campaign focuses on fostering a culture of cybersecurity awareness in research and higher education institutions, aimed at better data protection, complying with regulations, and maintaining their reputation and financial stability.

Learn how to identify these potential threats and keep your computer, devices, and personal information safe.
