Happy 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.
Security Day
Computer Security Day is a great opportunity for information security professionals and their organizations to raise the level of awareness within their users. We can help by providing ideas for CSD activities, posters and other resources.

For 2008 the theme for CSD will be “A Good Defense ” The poster has yet to be designed but will include an image and text portraying the idea that we must be proactive and active for security to work. Each individual is responsible and plays a part in protecting information assets and resources. These include:

Computer Security Day
* Viruses
* PC security
* Firewalls
* Using strong passwords
* Social engineering
* Physical security of information resources and assets

  1. Hi,
    I hope you are doing well. I saw your comment at my blog site Pro-Pakistan and hence got the chance to visit your site.
    I found it very interesting and decided to write a blog on it to introduce it to the Pakistani audience. Since Pro-Pakistan has been involved in highlighting all local initiatives, it would be well in line with our objective of bringing our local Pakistani blogs into lime light.
    I wish to take a small interview and it would be great if you can provide us a 20 lines introduction to your site. In case you are interested, please get back to us. I have dropped a mail at your address as well.
    Regards
