Cyber Security Awareness Month (October 2025)

October 2025 marks the annual observance of Cyber Security Awareness Month, a critical period dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of cyber security and promoting best practices to protect our digital lives. 

The theme for #CyberMonth2025 is Get cyber safe – for future you.

Being cyber safe isn’t just about protecting yourself right now – it’s about setting yourself up for a safer and easier future. This Cyber Month, we want to shed light on the practical benefits of cyber security that can make things easier for you in the future when you least expect it. Whether you’re using a password manager so you’re ready when your favourite artist announces their tour, backing up your files so you don’t lose an important presentation, or scheduling automatic updates so your device doesn’t restart in the middle of an online banking transaction, we’ll demonstrate the unpredictable and surprising ways cyber security can help keep your life on track.
