As we go through October, it brings more than just the change of weather… It also marks Cybersecurity Awareness Month. In today’s world, where technology touches nearly every aspect of our lives, this is a great reminder for all of us to pause and think about how we protect ourselves online. Whether you’re at work or simply browsing the internet at home, safeguarding your data has never been more important.
Why does Cybersecurity Awareness Month matter?
Cybersecurity Awareness Month isn’t just another date on the calendar – it’s a call to action. It’s a time for everyone, from individuals to businesses, to take stock of their online security and learn how to stay safe. With cyber threats becoming more sophisticated every day, taking a proactive approach to your online safety has never been more important. This month is all about encouraging everyone to engage with useful resources, participate in events, and most importantly, implement strategies to better protect themselves online.
While highlighting cybersecurity for a month is vital, we prioritise it 365 days a year. We believe you should do the same, and we’re here to explain why it matters.
Understanding the growing threats
Cybercriminals are always evolving their tactics, to keep up with evolving technology. From phishing emails that trick people into sharing personal details, to ransomware attacks that can bring entire businesses to a halt, online threats are more prevalent and more damaging than ever before. The good news? Staying informed and vigilant, and following best practices, can significantly reduce your risk of becoming a victim. Cybersecurity isn’t just for the experts – it’s for everyone.
A notable attack was the recent defect in CrowdStrike’s Falcon update for Windows, which crashed millions of computers around the world. Cybercriminals then take this as an opportunity, using it to prey on fear and confusion. Among all the noise, they deploy phishing attacks related to this news to try to get people to click on infected links because they are distracted or scared.
This is just an example – hugely affecting all kinds of businesses and individuals. So stay alert, think twice before responding and if in doubt ask for an expert opinion.
