Last updated on September 15, 2021

We had many people participate in our 2020 Cyber Security Awareness Month daily challenges.

One lucky participant from the Ministry of Health won the Grand Prize!

Review 2020 CSAM themes and activities below:

Cyber Security Awareness Month Week One – Take Stock

         

CHALLENGE ONE          

Devices have become an integral part of our lives. In fact, sometimes it’s hard to remember all of the connected devices we use on a daily basis. The first few days of CSAM will focus on taking stock of all of the devices in your life and bidding farewell to those devices that have served you well, but that you might not use anymore.
 

Cyber Security Awareness Month Week Two – Phone Week

 

CHALLENGE TWO     CHALLENGE THREE  
CHALLENGE FOUR   CHALLENGE FIVE      
CHALLENGE SIX

Check back at the end of the week for the answers.

Your beloved phone. It is  one of the last things you see before you fall sleep and one of the first when you wake up. During the COVID-19 pandemic, you have probably spent even more time with your phone than you usually do. Whether you want to connect with your loved ones, knock some things off your work ‘to-do’ list, or just kill time, your phone is there when you need it (except when it runs out of battery, but that’s on you). It’s time to repay your phone for all it has done for you by making sure it’s properly secured.
 

Cyber Security Awareness Month Week Three – Computer Week

CHALLENGE SEVEN       CHALLENGE EIGHT
CHALLENGE NINE         CHALLENGE TEN

Phones may be like tiny computers in our pockets, but there are some things they still don’t do as well as a good old-fashioned laptop or desktop. Like video games, responding to emails, and work (especially if you’ve been working from home). Let’s reward these important devices with some well-deserved caring.
 

 

 

CHALLENGE ELEVEN    CHALLENGE TWELVE   
CHALLENGE THIRTEEN    CHALLENGE FOURTEEN   
CHALLENGE FIFTEEN           

Network devices may not be as flashy as phones or computers. Nobody is waiting in line for the latest router — but they serve an important function— They connect you to everything. Let’s give these unsung heroes their due by making sure they’re secure against cyber threats.
 

Cyber Security Awareness Month Week Five – Smart Device Week

CHALLENGE SIXTEEN    CHALLENGE SEVENTEEN   
CHALLENGE EIGHTEEN     CHALLENGE NINETEEN   
FREE CHALLENGE

If computers are your childhood BFF, then the smart devices around your house are that quirky but lovable friend you make as an adult. Sure, they’re a little weird and unfamiliar, but once you figure out how to work together, you won’t know how you ever lived without them.
