The annual National E-security Awareness Week aims to raise awareness about the importance of e-security among Australians.
The Week, being held from 5-12 June this year, will help inform home users, students and small business about the simple steps they can take to protect themselves, their families and their businesses online.
A range of events and activities are being held around Australia in metropolitan, remote and regional areas to help Australians understand e-security risks.
Five simple tips being promoted throughout the Week will help Australians use the internet in a secure and confident manner:
■Get a better, stronger password and change it at least twice a year.
■Get security software, and update and patch it regularly.
■Stop and think before you click on links or attachments from unknown sources.
■Information is valuable. Be careful about what you give away about yourself and others online.
■Log on to www.staysmartonline.gov.au for further information and to sign up for the email alert service.
If you would like more information on the Week you can contact the E-security section at the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy on 02 6271 1112 or email onlinesecurity@dbcde.gov.au.
