Own IT. Secure IT. Protect IT. - Get Involved

Today is the start of both the National Cyber Security Awareness month and the European Cyber Security Month.

For the duration of the month your Social Media feeds will be awash with news, articles, advice and resources from organisations of all sectors and sizes.

Cyber security touches all our lives, from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep. The ability for an organisation or individual to protect oneself online is quickly becoming an absolute business necessity. APMG wholeheartedly supports the message this year, Own IT. Secure IT. Protect IT

OWN IT - Understanding your digital profile.

Many organizations and individuals do not realize the size of their digital footprint. In an ever-connected world, constant innovations and technology show us a glimpse into a modernized world of the future. Pulling back the curtain reveals the fact that with new technology will always come new exploits aimed at collecting your personal information for exploitation or profit.

SECURE IT - Securing your digital profile.

Understanding your own online presence can be an eye-opening and slightly terrifying realization. Who knew that companies you registered with 10 years ago still hold your information? I can assure you, they knew. But it’s not all bad, as the regulations slowly catch up with the innovations, we see more and more rights back to the people as the safety of your data becomes a basic human right. You can now request the deletion of your data with GDPR compliant organizations as your consumer right - a step in the right direction.

PROTECT IT – Maintaining your digital profile

Once your data is understood and protected, there is the case of maintaining the information held. Every click, registration and share creates a digital trail which has potential for exploitation. Once you realise the value of your information, you wont hand it over so quickly.

Get Involved

Your social media posts should include the hashtags #BeCyberSmart and #CyberAware. Comment and get involved with the community, this month is about spreading awareness of good cyber hygiene.

You can also add #CyberSecMonth for the European Cyber Security Month.
