National Computer Security Day
National Computer Security Day is celebrated on November 30th each year to raise awareness about keeping online data safe. The day was established in 1988 as computers became more common in homes, businesses, and government offices.
Here are some ways to celebrate National Computer Security Day:
- Protect your devices
Install antivirus software, keep it running, and update your software and firmware regularly.
- Use strong passwords
Create unique, long passwords for each account and don't share them with anyone.
- Back up your data
Regularly back up your data and encrypt it so that only you can access it.
- Educate others
Conduct security awareness training and simulated phishing tests to help employees spot email phishing attacks.
- Acknowledge security professionals
Thank security systems engineers for the work they do to protect users and organizations
