Online Poster Making Competition

October is globally celebrated as Cyber Security Awareness Month (CSAM). It is a public awareness effort to raise awareness on the importance of cybersecurity and empower citizens to be safer and more secure online. It encourages people to view Internet safety as a shared responsibility of citizens, government, organizations, employees, and consumers alike to take Security as a Priority and Stay Cyber Safe at home, workplace, and in our community.

This year’s theme “Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart” encourages individuals and organizations to own their role in protecting their part of cyberspace for ensuring better cyber security hygiene. We also need to do our part to spread the word among our family and friends to take proactive steps to enhance cybersecurity and maintain a safe and secure online environment.
