"It may be 18 years since the launch of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, but the need for awareness about it has increased manifold now more than ever. Since 2020 the rapid and hurried need to introduce newer and better cybersecurity details in their organization caught everyone by surprise as only a few were ready to function remotely on a large scale. Things are now changing for the better, yet not at the speed and advancement necessary. However, awareness campaigns like these will certainly boost the knowledge needed among the C-Suite across verticals – banking, healthcare, education, etc to implement stringent cybersecurity norms in their organization. While earlier there was just a need for implementing cybersecurity solutions, later came the necessity of educating the people in the organization, now organizations are training their employees about cybersecurity in terms of implementation, detection, etc. This is more helpful with a united front to fight cyber crimes that have increased due to the gaps in security created due to remote working. Unsafe practices, vulnerable networks and internet connections and internal threats are all the reasons why employees must be prepared to be fighters of cybercrimes. Insider threats are now the biggest reason for worry as knowingly or unknowingly security is breached and consequences need to be faced by the organization and the responsible employees. Hence it is very much necessary for organizations to implement Zero Trust, MFA, Password Protection and other security measures to fight cybersecurity breach and create awareness around cybersecurity.”
