October is Cyber Security Month, the European initiative coordinated by ENISA and by the European Commission to raise cyber security awareness in Europe. Our CSM23 campaign, 'Become a Cyber Hero', will focus on online privacy, phishing, social engineering, ransomware and the importance of reporting cyber incidents. Each week in October we will share short videos with tips and tricks by experts from international R&E organisations, in-depth interviews with Cyber Heroes from the community, blog articles and more. Also, watch this space for the new four-part animation series: “Cybercrime for Newbies”.

You are also invited to tune in to our programme of four webinars held by security experts from industry and the wider GÉANT community. Thanks to the collaboration with RedCLARA, live interpretation services in three languages (English, Spanish and Portuguese) will be available also this year. Keep checking this page and our social media accounts for all updates and follow the hashtags #CyberSecMonth and #BecomeACyberHero. Download the campaign resources and login to our Cyber Security Awareness wiki to find security & privacy awareness materials for NRENs, guidelines on how to set up your own awareness programme and much more.
