Cyber security is everyone’s business

October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, an opportunity to talk about cyber security and take action to protect your devices and accounts.

The theme for this month is ‘Cyber security is everyone’s business.’ The Australian Cyber Security Centre recommends for everyone to take the following steps to improve their cyber security:

1. Turn on multi-factor authentication.

2. Keep devices and software up to date.

3. Use strong and unique passwords, such as a passphrase.

4. Recognise and report phishing and other scams.

Learn more about each step and how you can take action by using the Cyber Security Awareness Month resources on cyber.gov.au. Even small steps can make significant improvements to your cyber security.
