Click to Take the Pledge: Future Crime Research Foundation Celebrates Cybersecurity Awareness Month with Daily Pledge and Cyber Safety Calendar
NEW DELHI: As part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, the Future Crime Research Foundation (FCRF) is calling on all individuals, organizations, and communities to take a proactive stand against cyber threats by pledging to practice safe cybersecurity habits every day. FCRF has introduced a Cybersecurity Pledge aimed at fostering responsibility and vigilance, encouraging everyone to commit to safeguarding their digital spaces.
The pledge emphasizes key security measures such as using strong and unique passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication, being cautious online, and regularly updating software. By making this pledge a part of their daily routine, individuals can contribute to a safer online environment for themselves and their organizations.
In addition to the pledge, FCRF has developed a Cyber Safety Calendar for the month of October. Each day, the calendar provides a specific cybersecurity tip, designed to enhance online safety and protect against potential threats. Some of the recommended practices include verifying the authenticity of websites, avoiding suspicious downloads, regularly backing up important files, and keeping sensitive information private on social media.
