National Computer Security Day on November 30

National Computer Security Day is celebrated every year on November 30. We would like to use this day to raise awareness of the importance of cyber security and the protection of sensitive data.

Today, data is one of an institution's most valuable assets. In an increasingly digitalized world where we share, communicate and store countless data online every day, the secure handling of this information is becoming more and more important.
Phishing attacks, malware and ransomware are immediately among the most common threats in our everyday lives. At a time when cybercrime is becoming increasingly sophisticated, it is more important than ever that we raise our awareness of these dangers and keep up to date with the latest developments.

Use the Security Day as an opportunity to refresh and expand your knowledge of cyber security with the online self-learning platform 'SecAware.nrw' - for example on important protection practices such as password hygiene and backups. In addition, the interactive learning offer on information security was recently expanded to include the new malware module, which includes videos on ransomware and types of malware and provides in-depth insights into the various threats and risks posed by malware.

The online self-study program of the Westfälische Hochschule can be accessed directly via the SecAware.nrw homepage. You can also access the SecAware.nrw self-learning academy via our Online Awareness training courses page. As you know, use is free of charge and possible without registration.
