You may have seen an uplift on social media regarding playing you part in Cybersecurity \u2013 mainly because October is the month of Cybersecurity Awareness both in Europe and Beyond.  One of our partners \u2013 Security Scorecard are heavily involved in this year\u2019s awareness with their tips of the day, so as we are based in Europe, I thought I would look at how the ENISA \u2013 European Union Agency for Cybersecurity are covering this topic this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European Cybersecurity Month (ECSM<\/a>) is the EU\u2019s annual campaign dedicated to promoting cybersecurity among citizens and organisations, and to providing up-to-date online security information through awareness raising and sharing of good practices. Their moto this year is: – THINK BEFORE U CLICK<\/strong>  #ThinkB4UClick<\/a><\/strong> covering two themes to help people identify and be prepared for cyber threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first theme is on \u00b4Cyber Scams<\/strong>\u00b4 providing insights on the current and potential cyber threats.  I find this topic very interesting as these scams try and trick you into clicking on links, for example, Paypal and Netflix scams for more immediate responses to account issues trying to trick you on your mobile phone \u2013 not necessarily your tablet\/laptop\/pc.  These threats are so clever and can compromise business email, cause on-line shopping fraud (watch out for false Amazon ones as they seem quite prevalent at the moment) and Phishing.  Here is a link to the page for more information on how to protect from Phishing \u2013 well worth a read.  https:\/\/www.enisa.europa.eu\/news\/enisa-news\/understanding-and-dealing-with-phishing-during-the-covid-19-pandemic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second theme is on \u00b4Digital Skills<\/strong>\u00b4 dealing with e-privacy, personal data protection, cyber bullying and cyber stalking \u2013 this is fantastic news for all demographics as more and more of us become dependent on our devices for so much, the young need education on how to handle to faceless world of on-line bullying and to be fair our silver surfers need to understand the importance of protecting their personal data as they tend to do a lot more on-line shopping these days.  My mum should be invited to the Amazon Christmas Party as a VIP guest \u2013 like many other mums out there I am sure \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think this is definitely a site we should read from time to time \u2013 lots of helpful tools and quizzes to keep you on your toes.  Check it out at: https:\/\/cybersecuritymonth.eu\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
