The CyberSecurity Awareness Workshop is organised by the Information Systems and Technology Service and the Data Protection Officer of the Cyprus University of Technology. The event is a part of the European Cybesecurity Month, a campaign that focuses on different themes addressing the need for behavioural change and identifying opportunities to help users recognise the risks of new technologies.

The first theme encompasses basic ‘Cyber Hygiene’, which uses the hygiene metaphor to inform about good cybersecurity habits that are part of everyone’s daily routine. Having healthy cyber safety practices can provide users with more confidence using their devices, whether it’s a computer, a smart phone, a wearable device or any other gadget that’s connected to the internet. The CyberSecurity Awareness Workshop will provide some “Cyber Hygiene’ tips to the attendees.

Today to launch the campaign, ENISA has published a video that will provide citizens with simple awareness checks to undertake in their daily lives.
