"Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a great time to put extra effort toward helping people to understand cybersecurity and why they need it. But ultimately, we need to go beyond awareness … and it’s not just important this month. Everyone needs cybersecurity literacy and so can protect their data, their systems, and themselves against the security problems that they can often face. It’s important for users on a personal level, as well as in the workplace, and organisations need to take a holistic view of cybersecurity awareness and education to ensure it’s a key part of their wider cybersecurity portfolio."

"Cyber, a buzz term that often individuals do not recognise it applies to us all. As this year’s campaign is “See yourself in Cyber”, we are joining forces across sectors, across nations, to raise awareness for individuals, end-users, organisations and communities. It is important that as Industry 5.0 is and Digital Transformation are becoming the key terms of every Digital Skills Strategy, Cyber is becoming the core element within the workforce and beyond."
