October 2021 welcomes the 18th European Cybersecurity Awareness Month (ECSM) - the European Union’s annual campaign dedicated to promoting cybersecurity among EU citizens and organisations, and to providing up-to-date online security information through awareness raising and sharing of good practices.
Coordinated by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and the European Commission, the ECSM Campaign and supported by EU Member States and hundreds of partners from Europe, and beyond including governments, universities, think tanks, NGOs, professional associations and private sector business.The EU Agency for Cybersecurity coordinates the organisation of the ECSM campaign by acting as a “hub” for all participating Member States and EU Institutions, and by providing expert suggestions, generating synergies and promoting common messaging among EU citizens, businesses and public administration. The Agency also publishes new materials and provides expert advice on different cybersecurity topics for Member States’ audiences.
The two themes of the ECSM2021 campaign are:
1) First aid - Best practice mitigation if you fall victim to a Cyber-attack
2) Cybersecurity in the home
The corona virus pandemic has tested online security resilience world-wide, while at the same time has pushed more and more citizens to conduct their daily lives and work online. Our lives have shifted into the digital dimension so educating the online user has become more important than ever before.
The main objectives of the 2021 campaign are to ensure that end-users and organisations are well informed on the potential cybersecurity risks and that they stay safe online. The general intention is to help EU citizens develop a basic understanding of the different types of online security and privacy issues. Learn More/...
