October is a month full of surprises, we celebrate the national Cyber-security Awareness Month but let´s get to know this term a little better. Cyber-security is all the methods used in order to protect sensitive data from being stolen, compromised or attacked; threats might include viruses, hackers, malicious codes and malware. Methods used to protect or prevent these threats might feature identity, risk and incident management, firewalls, encryption, software patches and more. This approach is critical for any company that handles sensitive data like online shops, banks and others.

Every year on this very month the government and the IT industry come together to raise awareness about the importance of having all the resources needed to be safer and more secure online. All individuals and companies should take steps to enhance cyber-security at home and in the workplace as well. The purpose of this initiative is to change behaviors and educate people about the need of protecting personal, financial and/or professional data. Campaigns such as European Cyber Security Month (ECSM), National Cyber-security Awareness Month (NCSAM) in the USA and Cyber-security Awareness Month in Canada are all in motion to send a clear message “Cyber-security is a shared responsibility, we all have a role to play when it comes to responding to the growing threat of cyber-crime and staying one step ahead of cyber-criminals.”
