This is our first blog post covering Cybersecurity Awareness Month – stay tuned for our follow-up blog post that reviews FileCloud’s Top 10 Features to Ease Cybersecurity Anxieties.
October is a month many people associate with Oktoberfest and Halloween, fall foliage viewing, and the onset of winter weather. The month also hosts celebratory gems such as World Octopus Day, Global Handwashing Day, and Make a Difference Day, as well as awareness campaigns such as Bat Appreciation Month and National Book Month!
One awareness campaign FileCloud is happy to support is Cybersecurity Awareness Month! This campaign reminds us all (individuals and organizations alike) to take proactive measures to protect our sensitive information.
The need for robust cybersecurity measures has increased exponentially in our modern digital age. Enterprises and organizations rely heavily on data and technology. On the other side of the coin, malicious actors have devised insidious methods and tools to carry out digital crime targeting this data.
In December 2022, Cybersecurity Ventures published their Official Cybercrime Report, which forecast
that the cost of global cybercrime damages would total USD 8 trillion in 2023 alone. “If it were measured as a country, then cybercrime would be the world’s third largest economy after the U.S. and China.” Over the next three years, Cybersecurity Ventures estimates that these costs will grow by 15% per year, reaching USD 10.5 trillion by 2025.
This October is the 20th Cybersecurity Awareness Month since it was established by Congress and President of the United States in 2004. This campaign is now a global initiative, with partnerships between public and private sector organizations to promote cybersecurity best practices that help people stay safe online.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) collaborates with the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA) to produce the Resources and Partner Toolkit. Organizations can leverage this toolkit to initiate conversations around cybersecurity practices with employees and customers.
The toolkit provides educational resources covering various cybersecurity threats, including phishing attacks, malware, ransomware, and data breaches, along with tips to safeguard against these threats. The toolkit lists four key behaviors that can help strengthen security postures:
