This #digitalcleanupday let’s declutter our digital lives & protect our data! 🛡️
Digital waste isn’t just about storage—it’s also about #Security. The more data we leave online, the easier it's for cybercriminals to exploit it through #SocialEngineering & #cybercrime.
How much can someone learn about you online? 🎥 Watch this episode from our #CyberSecMonth 2023 series & review what you share online.

In response to the rise of cyberthreats to global infrastructure, #NRENs around the world are increasingly coupling their NOCs with #Security Operation Centres (#SOCs).
We spoke to Cynthia Wagner @evilolive28, CISO and Security Manager at @restena, to learn more about their plans to build an #OpenSource-based SOC for the Luxembourgish R&E community through the #LuCySe4Re project: https://connect.geant.org/2024/10/30/restena-open-source-security-operation-centre-protecting-what-matters

As our #CyberSecMonth campaign ‘Your brain is the first line of defence’ comes to a close, Urpo Kaila, Head of Security Policies at CSC, shares his reflections on #InformationSecurity and on what he believes to be also the ‘last line of defence’:
“The last line of defence is not about listing requirements, regulations and standards, or the latest hype in #cybersecurity tools. It is you!"

We often hear that the #HumanFactor is the weakest link in the #security chain, but as cyber attacks continue to evolve, so too do our protective measures and #SecurityAwareness
According to Enrico Venuto, CISO at Politecnico di Torino, humans are beginning to serve as the most acute and sensitive sentinels against cyber attacks: https://connect.geant.org/2024/10/28/the-weakest-link
"The human brain is the most resilient link in the chain and the first line of defence in #cybersecurity"

#CrisisManagement is everyone's business.
For #CyberSecMonth, Maria Edblom Tauson (@sunet) explains why it's fundamental for all of us to be prepared for a crisis and to know exactly what to do when a crisis strikes.
Crisis management is a collective responsibility, and during a crisis, collaboration is the key. Being prepared is always better than being caught off guard.

How would your institution respond if an ordinary system check uncovered a major #security incident?
That’s what the University of Rijeka in #Croatia faced when an IT team member discovered an unauthorised virtual machine template — just as the academic year began.

As #deepfakes become more realistic, the #security threat they pose grows, especially since people are inclined to trust what they see and hear.
For our #CyberSecMonth campaign, Panayiota Smyrli, #Cybersecurity analyst at CYNET-CSIRT, the Academic Computer Security Incident Response Team of #Cyprus, explains how we can detect and mitigate malicious deepfake content.

#Tailgating comes in different forms - whether it’s a stranger trying to sneak in, or a colleague claiming to have left the badge at home, letting them through can open the door to serious #security risks.

Spear-phishing is a more targeted form of #phishing, where attackers focus on specific individuals and craft personalised emails, based on gathered information.
For #CyberSecMonth, we hear from João Machado (#Cybersecurity Analyst at FCT -FCCN) how #SpearPhishing works, how widespread and damaging these attacks have become, how to prevent and counter them, and some real world examples: https://connect.geant.org/2024/10/15/spear-phishing-hack-the-mind-and-access-the-network

Remember, it’s all about psychology: #SocialEngineers target our minds. They gain our trust and then strike by encouraging us to divulge personal or financial information, click on unsafe links, or open malicious attachments.
Your brain is the first line of defence!

We use our #smartphones exactly as our laptops, but often we don’t protect them in the same way.
For #CyberSecMonth, Davina Luyten (Belnet) shares some key tips on how to secure our devices:
1⃣ Make sure you only download apps from trusted app stores
2⃣ Make sure your smartphone is always up to date
3⃣ Watch out for fake messages and callsKeeping your smartphone secure is essential to keep out cybercriminals.

According to Salvatore Todaro (University of Messina), poor #cybersecurity is similar to cigarette smoking.
Both have direct and indirect consequences, with significant costs for everyone. Often, the root cause is individual behaviour. And as with smoking, it will likely take years to fully understand the problems and total costs involved.
The solution? Other than quitting “smoking”, it’s essential to educate people about the harms: https://connect.geant.org/2024/10/10/the-importance-of-cybersecurity-a-cost-for-everyone
