The ninth edition of the European Cybersecurity Month is kicking off
tomorrow and will run for the entire month of October under the motto ‘Think Before U Click’. This is an annual awareness campaign organised by the Commission, the European Union Agency for
Cybersecurity (ENISA) and over 300 partners in the Member States, including local authorities, governments, universities, think tanks, NGOs and professional associations
.

Hundreds of activities, such as conferences, workshops, training sessions, presentations, webinars and online campaigns, will take place across Europe this year to promote cybersecurity among
citizens and organisations and to provide up-to-date online security information through awareness raising and sharing of good practices.

Margrethe Vestager, Executive Vice-President for a Europe Fit for the Digital Age, said: – We will not use technology if we don’t trust it; and trust comes from feeling
safe. That’s why cybersecurity is really central to our digitalisation, and to the use of technology. Especially nowadays when due to the pandemic we have been doing so many things online: working,
learning, shopping, and more. By adopting good cybersecurity habits, we are building a safe and secure digital life. –

Margaritis Schinas, Vice-President for Promoting our European Way of Life, said: – Cyber-attacks put at risk our businesses, our critical infrastructures, our data, the
functioning of our democracies. Cyber criminals exploit the slightest vulnerability in our digital environment. The European Cybersecurity Month campaign aims at helping everyone acquire the
necessary skills to shield ourselves and our way of life against cyber threats. The campaign’s motto ‘Think Before U Click’ is especially this year more relevant than ever.

Cyber awareness is one of the angles of the EU Cybersecurity
Strategy
announced in December last year.
