Cyber Security Awareness Month (CSAM) is an internationally recognized campaign held each October to help the public learn more about the importance of cyber security. The campaign recognizes cybersecurity as a shared responsibility and encourages members of the public to take action steps to protect themselves.
2023 marks 20 Years of Cybersecurity Awareness Month and Cybersafe Foundation will be commemorating the month with the theme, "It is easy to safe online #NoGoFallMaga". We will be using a variety of mediums and activities to educate on four key behaviors all month long:
- Enabling Multifactor Authentication
- Using Strong Passwords and a Password Manager
- Updating Software
- Recognizing and reporting phishing
We are embarking on a momentous mission in honor of the 20th Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Our goal is to educate 200,000 individuals across Africa through a variety of engaging mediums.
