In today's digital world, cybersecurity is more than just protecting networks, systems, and data - it's about safeguarding people. As we increasingly live and work online, everyone is a potential target for cyber threats. Being aware of these risks and understanding how to protect yourself is crucial. Whether it’s phishing scams, data breaches, or identity theft, the consequences of cybercrime can be devastating, both personally and professionally.
People are the new perimeter in cybersecurity
With remote work, cloud computing, and the widespread use of personal devices, traditional security perimeters are no longer enough. Today, people are the new perimeter. Everyone - whether an employee, a customer, or an everyday user - is a critical point of defense. Cybercriminals increasingly target human behavior through tactics like phishing, social engineering, and weak passwords. Empowering individuals with cybersecurity knowledge and tools are the best defense against these threats. That’s why cybersecurity today must focus on protecting people, not just data.
Cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility
Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. By raising awareness and taking proactive steps, we can all play a role in building a safer digital world. Stay informed, stay secure, and help create a stronger defense against cyber threats.
The importance of cybersecurity awareness: October is Cybersecurity Month
At Orange Cyberdefense we support the European Cybersecurity Month in October, an annual initiative led by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity. During this month, we launch various activities, events, and campaigns to raise awareness and inform individuals and organizations about the importance of staying vigilant and adopting best practices within digital security. It’s our hope that the habits we share and develop during Cybersecurity Month will guide our actions every day to keep ourselves, our data, and our networks secure.
Cybersecurity is not a one-time effort - it’s an ongoing responsibility that requires attention to the issues and the threats we face constantly. Cybercriminals never rest, and our vigilance shouldn't either. By making cybersecurity an all-year priority, we can ensure stronger, more resilient defenses against ever-evolving risks.
