Cyber Security Awareness Month (Cyber Month) this October! In fact, we’re so eager about this year’s campaign, that we couldn’t wait any longer to share our theme with you.

The theme for Cyber Month 2024 is Generation Cyber Safe: Because online security knows no age. 

Online security affects all Canadians, regardless of when they were born — that’s why every generation is part of Generation Cyber Safe. As we know, cyber security is a shared responsibility. Let’s come together once again this Cyber Month, as organizations and individuals across Canada, to raise awareness on cyber security and share how we stay safe online with the rest of Generation Cyber Safe.
