Cyber Awareness Month – See Something, Say Something
As Cyber Security Awareness Month 2025 wraps up, it’s a great time to look back at the key steps we covered.
-
In week one, we focused on building strong protection with passphrases and password managers, making it harder for attackers to guess or steal access.
-
Week two highlighted turning on multifactor authentication (MFA), adding an extra layer of security beyond just a password.
-
Week three emphasised the importance of keeping devices updated. Regular software updates patch security flaws that attackers often exploit, helping protect your devices.
-
Finally, week 4 was all about phishing awareness. We learned how to spot suspicious messages, trust our instincts, and pause before clicking on any suspicious links or sharing personal details
If you notice anything unusual, such as a suspicious email, a strange pop-up, or odd system behaviour, do not ignore it. Report it directly to the IT Service Desk. Cyber security doesn't end with Awareness Month. It relies on all of us, all year round.
