October is observed as Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a dedicated month for the public and private sectors to work together to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity.
This month marks the 20th annual Cybersecurity Awareness Month, with governments and industries worldwide coming together to increase awareness of cybersecurity challenges and threats. The 2023 theme for Cybersecurity Awareness Month is “Secure Our World,” emphasising how individuals, families, and small- to medium-sized businesses can bolster cybersecurity through simple but critical measures. These include setting stronger passwords, activating multi-factor authentication, recognising and reporting phishing attacks, and regularly updating software.
The digital transformation sweeping every facet of our lives is mirrored by an ever-evolving online threat landscape. The Sophos State of Ransomware report for 2023 reveals that 73% of organisations in India that responded to our survey have reported being hit by ransomware in 2022. Therefore, it is critical for all businesses to implement robust cyber security solutions capable of detecting and responding to threats in real-time. It is also incumbent on each and every individual, in their personal and professional capacities, to maintain constant vigilance and to take precautionary measures to safeguard our collective digital sphere against malicious actors. Together, we can secure our world. Sunil Sharma, Vice President, Sales, Sophos India & SAARC
