Seminar on National Cyber Security Awareness Month(October)

 October is celebrated as National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) globally. Dr. Baldev Singh Dhillon, Principal Lyallpur Khalsa College, Kapurthala was the chief spokesperson and he presented and shared knowledge about cyber security among the college students and staff members. The Internet is today’s backbone for all kind of online services, and it has given rise to various features such as Social Media, Online Shopping, Digital Payments, e-Education, e-Health and the list goes on.

In the current pandemic situation where Work from Home is a reality for most and Digital services are on the rise, so are cyberattacks. Cyber Security has become more important than ever in today’s Digital Life. It is no more a matter for security experts and web admins to take care of. Hackers and cyber attackers no more target only companies and corporations, but individuals too. Cyber Security is now a part of every individual’s life. The more connected we get, safeguarding our digital identities becomes a shared responsibility. The more we share, the more we must care.

In order to bring attention to Cyber Security and as a concentrated effort to stay safe and secure online, NCSAM is celebrated all over the world. It is an initiative to put conscious efforts towards ensuring better cyber security hygiene and incorporate stronger security measures. It is a collective responsibility of the government, organisations, employees, consumers and citizens at large to take Security as a Priority and #StayCyberSafe. In the end, vote of thanks to the spokesperson and entire members present in the webinar was given by Prof. Manjinder Singh Johal.
