Cybersecurity Awareness Month
Unlock essential tips to secure our digital world
Social engineering – a powerful impact on the cybersecurity
Cybersecurity Awareness Month brings the world together to champion security and safety, with the theme ‘Secure our world’, inspiring collaboration between the public and private sectors to boost global cybersecurity awareness. At GSMA, we are passionate about equipping our members with the latest insights and practical tips to safeguard their digital lives. This month, we are shining a bright spotlight on social engineering and highlighting some of the key areas where it plays a significant role.
‘Secure Our World’ highlights four key behaviours: using strong passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication, updating software, and recognising phishing attempts. GSMA will offer a range of activities to encourage connection, learning, and collaboration among our members and the wider community. Stay tuned for our upcoming events, including expert-led panels and insightful blogs.
