What does good cybersecurity look like?
Are small businesses ever targets?
How often do organizations actually talk about online safety?
We asked cybersecurity enthusiasts the questions that have been at the top of our minds, and they answered!
Here is what they had to say…
#CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #TekanaOnline #ComplyandProtect
The Data Protection and Privacy Office (DPO) of the National Cyber Security Authority (NCSA) is conducting a four-day Training of Trainers (ToT) programme to build a pool of qualified trainers who can deliver effective, practical, and engaging data protection and privacy training across public and private sector organisations.
The programme combines technical knowledge of data protection and privacy with practical instructional skills, equipping participants to design training sessions, facilitate learning, and assess participants’ understanding.
Through this initiative, the DPO aims to strengthen data protection capacity, promote a culture of compliance, and support organisations in implementing their data protection and privacy obligations.
Building capacity. Strengthening compliance. Protecting personal data.

Did you know that everyday posts can give away more than you intend? That innocent photo of your afternoon snack could show where you work, where you bank, your home street name or your daily routine; all piece-by-piece clues that cybercriminals use for identity theft or targeted scams.
Every time you post, remember to keep your personal life personal. Share the memory but not the data.
