Cyber Security Awareness Month

I attended an interesting evening on PassKeys led by the Jersey Cyber Security Centre last week and was reminded of their work this month to promote cyber security awareness.  I’ve shamelessly borrowed from their announcement and encouraged islanders to take advantage of their expertise!

Throughout October, Islanders can sign up for one of 20 free events to help keep themselves safer online.

The events – which are being organised by JCSC – are being run throughout October, which is Cyber Security Awareness Month. The events include sessions designed for the finance, accountancy and hospitality sectors, small business owners, charities, and individuals and families.

Cyber Security Awareness Month was originally founded in the US in 2003 in recognition of the security challenges created by increasing digital connection. The month is designed to raise awareness of cyber security threats, and empower individuals to take steps to protect themselves.

During the month, Islanders can attend several drop-in sessions at Jersey Library and Digital Jersey, as well as lunchtime sessions which introduce essential cyber security concepts and offer practical advice.

If you haven’t already, take a look at their website and sign up for one or more of the events on offer this month!
