Since 1988, the necessity of generating security awareness has increased substantially. The inception of Computer Security Day has developed a practice of following security procedures while handling digital devices. The activities pertaining to this day involves cybersecurity awareness to make secure cyberspace and cyber resilient infrastructure. The Computer Security Day is celebrated in all kinds of organizations by discussing and creating awareness about best security practices.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The internet and computers have seamlessly connected all parts of the world. For this reason, it is very important for everyone to stand united against the threats plaguing the cyber world. No matter where they are located or what their activities are, they need to stand united against the threats. In current times, International Computer Security Day signifies the unity of all small and big entities endeavoring to make the online space safe for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #414141;\"><strong><i>At the end of the day, the goals are simple: safety and security.<\/i><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #414141;\"><strong>&#8211; Jodi Rell<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_One_Celebrate_International_Computer_Security_Day\"><\/span><b>How Can One Celebrate International Computer Security Day?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The primary motivation for observing International Computer Security Day is to ensure that your computing devices, such as tablets, smartphones, computers, and other smart devices, are secure along with the data stored on them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Here are the top 7 security measures you can implement to celebrate the spirit of this day:<b><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Use strong passwords:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Short and simple passwords are significantly easier to hack, especially if they are only made up of numbers or lowercase letters. To <span style=\"color: #183994;\"><a style=\"color: #183994;\" href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/how-to-keep-your-password-safe-from-hackers\/\"><strong>make a strong password<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, it is advisable to always curate a 9-10 character combination of symbols, numbers, uppercase letters, and lowercase letters.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Enable two-factor authentication:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Having a strong password is not enough sometimes. It\u2019s considerably safer to enable two-factor authentication or multi-factor authentication. It adds an extra step or extra layer of security to keep your data safe even if a hacker can guess your password correctly.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Install a firewall:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A firewall is a powerful gatekeeper between the computer and the internet. It blocks unwanted information and people from entering an organization\u2019s computers from the internet. It is recommended that all businesses install a firewall to provide a barrier between your data and cybercriminals.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Keep up with the latest updates:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is important to keep your system\u2019s software and applications up to date. This activity should be practiced on a regular basis. Updates contain vital security upgrades that help the devices stay protected against known bugs and vulnerabilities.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Encrypt and back up the data:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Cybercriminals are not always looking to steal your information. Sometimes, the end-goal is to encrypt or erase it. So, always encrypt your files and back them up on hard drives, USBs, or online cloud storage.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Regular VAPT:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Conducting vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT) regularly will help you identify any security loopholes in your organization\u2019s IT infrastructure. Identifying vulnerabilities will give information about the necessary measures to be taken to prevent cyber attacks from occurring.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Educate all employees:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Another key aspect of organizational security is to provide all your employees with security awareness training to give them a better understanding of the basics of cyber security. Putting an effective training session in place is the best defense against human error and <span style=\"color: #183994;\"><a style=\"color: #183994;\" href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/social-engineering-attack\/\"><strong>social engineering attacks<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Now that we have talked about the significance and celebration of International Computer Security Day, let\u2019s focus on implementing the strongest security measures we can think of to ensure the safety of everyone navigating the virtual world.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Computer_Security_Day\"><\/span><b>Benefits of Computer Security Day<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The benefit of celebrating this day is that it allows every organization to work on updating their security policies that are evolving every day.
