What is Computer Security Day ?Computer Security Day is a globally recognized annual event set up to inform computer users of the significance of computer security. It was started in 1988 to help raise awareness of computer related security issues, when the Washington, D.C., chapter of the Association for Computer Machinery (ACM) sought to bring computer-related security issues to the nation’s forefront. Since that time, Computer Security Day has evolved into a worldwide event. 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 organizations choose to have functions on the next business day or week if CSD falls on a weekend. 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. |
