Welcome to Cybersecurity Month. Every year, we dedicate the month of October to raising awareness about information and cybersecurity-related matters, by providing you with guidance on how to avoid becoming a cybercriminal’s next target.

This month, we’re raising the profile of password security.

Weekly focus areas

During each week of October, we’ll highlight a different aspect of passwords. To begin, we’ll investigate why there’s such a big fuss about passwords, and why it’s your responsibility to treat your password as securely as you treat your bank PIN.

Ready. Steady. Let’s go.
