In recognition of the 2016 National Cyber Security Awareness
Month (NCSAM), the Cyber Security Experts Association of Nigeria (CSEAN) has
concluded plans to unveil hashtag #ShineYourEye4Internet, reports ITRealms.
CSEAN President, Mr. Remi Afon disclosed this to ITRealms saying that the hashtag #ShineYourEye4Internet, is the group’s way of drawing
attentions of Nigerians to internet fraud. This hashtag comes on the heels of
#CyberAware and #NoFallInternetMaga, as he enjoined Nigerians to spread the
cyber gospel.
He outlined some CSEAN plans for this year’s NCSAM to
include launch of the hashtags via social media on October 1.
This, he said, would be followed with a weeklong activity from
October 3 through 7 focusing on #Cyberbullying – Moral and Social
Responsibility on the Free Highway.
In addition, Mr. Afon said the first week would see CSEAN interactive
lecture on ‘Data Privacy’ for members of staff of National Identity Management
Commission (NIMC) as well as a half day lecture on Advanced Persistent Threats
for members of staff of National Information Technology Development Agency
(NITDA).
The second week of October 10-14, he said, would focus on
#Dataprivacy - Protecting your personal
data from hackers, stressing that CSEAN planned a half day lecture on ‘Identity
Theft’ for members of staff of ‘Vehicle Inspection Agency (VIO) and in collaboration
with the Lagos Council of Nigeria Union of Journalists, a strategically designed
cyber security workshop for journalists.
Equally, Afon said, there will be a STOP THINK CONNECT
#ShineYourEye4Internet #NoFallInternetMaga awareness campaign in selected
secondary schools across Nigeria.
Just as he said that the week 3 which last
till October 21, would centre on #Phishing – Don’t fall for the bait; would be
an interactive lecture on phishing for members of staff of selected commercial
banks in Nigeria.
The week 4 programme on NCSAM, Afon said would be on #IdentityTheft:
Are my identity all over the place? Even as STOP THINK CONNECT alongside #ShineYourEye4Internet
#NoFallInternetMaga would be trending among selected higher institutions in the
country.
The last and fifth week of NCSAM for 2016, he said, would be
on ‘Nigeria: Building Resilience in Critical Systems’ with emphasis on critical
infrastructure and highlights of the roles the public in keeping it #secure.
The Internet, he said, underlies nearly every aspect of
everyday lives, keeping crucial systems like electricity, transportation and
communications up and running, hence, CSEAN is leading the national effort in
providing guidance to keep critical infrastructure safe secure.
