Lessons learned from Cyber Month 2023

November 14, 2023 - Defence Stories

That’s a wrap! The DND/CAF Cyber Month 2023 campaign has come to an end. This year, the theme was ‘Ensuring Secure Collaboration’ across the Defence Team and our partners. Although cybersecurity is a central focus in October, the threats remain year-round.

Products which were released can be found on the Cyber Month 2023 event page (accessible only on the National Defence network) and even more resources can be found on GetCyberSafe.gc.ca hosted by the Communications Security Establishment.

It’s not too late to take our Cyber Month Quiz or view informative videos such as a direct message from our Defence CIO and the Cyber Coffee Chat (accessible only on the National Defence network) where the Defence CIO sat down with the Acting Director General of DGIMTSP Luc Beaudoin and Acting Director of DIM Secur LCol Bayode Ajayi where they discussed current cyber threats. You can also find out more about threats such as malware and ransomware in our Top 10 Cyber Security Tips [PDF - 1.56MB] infographic.
