When?
The month of October.
Why?
Cybersecurity Awareness Month (or simply Cyber Month) is an internationally recognized campaign held each October to help the public learn more about the importance of cybersecurity. This month is an important opportunity for us all to reflect on how we can protect ourselves, our teams, and our communities online. We at Fleming College are proud to be a Get Cyber Safe champion.
This year’s campaign theme is Get cyber safe – for future you. It’s a reminder that the choices we make now – from using strong passphrases to keeping our devices updated – don’t just protect us in the moment, they make life easier for our future selves, helping us stay secure as the digital world and online threats become more sophisticated.
How?
Stay tuned as the month ahead will include:
- events and activities
- tools that can keep you safe online
- simple steps to start and practice getting cyber safe
- prizes for participation
