Computer Security Day

In the United States, National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) was in October. Today is Computer Security Day:

"Computer Security Day is an annual event that is observed worldwide. It was started in 1988 to help raise awareness of computer related security issues. The goal of Computer Security Day is to remind people to protect their computers and information. Officially, Computer Security Day is November 30th. However, some some organizations choose to have functions on the next business day or week if CSD falls on a weekend."

The theme for Computer Security Day is "A Good Defense". Be a responsible and safe web surfer by ensuring that your defenses are up -- as indicated in the Security Garden header,

"The best way to protect your garden is to fence it in. The same applies to your computer."

The tips provided during October (linked above) provide ways you can be proactive in protecting your information. Particularly with so many people doing online shopping, see SafeShopping.org.

Remember - "A day without laughter is a day wasted."
May the wind sing to you and the sun rise in your heart...
