Computer Security Day

Hello. After a long hiatus of more than a month, I am back at blogging. It's been a crazy month. By the way, did you know that 30th November was celebrated as Computer Security Day? I guess not many of you know about it. Even the site (www.computersecurityday.org) does not have a lot of stuff to talk about.

ISACA, of which I am a member is a sponsor and even ISACA does not advertise it as aggressively as I would have liked. I have been meaning to write about this since my last post, but I could not.

So what's the point in having a computer security awareness day? The answer should be fairly straight forward. To make you and the users aware of the need and importance of computer security and spread awareness. With the current spate of new ways to attack a network being discovered everyday by cyber criminals, it is very important for the CISOs to use this day as a platform to spread awareness.

So to all you Information security professionals: HAPPY COMPUTER SECURITY DAY. Hope your network remains safe from hackers always and that your users start taking ownership of security issues and become more aware and careful.
