We love celebrating the success stories of our Academy alumni!
One of our Academy alumni recently shared their inspiring journey of transitioning into cybersecurity from a non-technical background as a care assistant.

Your organisation’s cybersecurity shouldn’t be left to chance.
It deserves the right partner.
Achieving compliance is one thing. Building a stronger security posture, improving internal controls, & protecting your organisation against evolving threats is what truly matters.

Our recent ISO/IEC 27001 and PCI DSS implementation and certification engagement for a financial institution is another example of what the right expertise, clear guidance, and consistent support can achieve.

From initial gap assessments to certification audits, we help your organisation move forward with confidence.

Day 26: Educate Senior Citizens
“Knowledge is the best ingredient for online safety 👀”
Cybersecurity awareness should extend to everyone, including senior citizens who may be less familiar with common online scams. A little guidance can help them understand how scammers operate, question suspicious requests, and make safer decisions when using their phones or browsing the internet.
Imagine your grandmother receives a text message claiming she has won a cash prize. The message asks her to click a link and provide her bank details to claim the reward. Excited by the offer, she follows the instructions without realising that the message is fraudulent.
Quick Tip: Take time to explain the warning signs of scams, such as unexpected prizes, suspicious links, requests for personal information, and messages that pressure people to act quickly. Encourage them to verify offers before responding and to contact someone they trust when uncertain.
What is one online safety habit every senior citizen should know?
Throughout the month of October, I will be engaging in a 31 days Cybersecurity Diet as part of my contribution to the conversations regarding Cybersecurity Awareness.
Each day, I will post a basic Cybersecurity topic, share few tips and ask a question. I want to encourage everyone doing Cybersecurity to join me by using the Cybersecurity diet to also educate people about basic Cybersecurity awareness. Let’s continue to spread the word and support the ecosystem to reduce Cybersecurity breaches 💪

You find a flash drive on a desk.
Maybe it belongs to a colleague. You consider plugging it into your laptop to find out.
But you don’t know what’s on it, or what it might do when connected.
Day 27/31 of @CybarikGlobal cybersecurity diet: Avoid Unknown Removable Storage Devices
An unfamiliar USB device could contain harmful files. Some can even pretend to be a keyboard and issue commands when plugged in.
Don’t connect a found flash drive to your personal or work computer just to identify its owner.
At work, hand it to your IT or security team. If someone gives you a drive, confirm its source and follow your organisation’s rules before using it.
Today’s challenge: Resist the urge to investigate an unknown USB device by plugging it in.
Curiosity doesn’t need access to your laptop.

Day 24: Encrypt Sensitive Data on Your Devices
Full-disk encryption (or strong file/folder encryption) protects your data even if the device is lost, stolen, or seized.@ireteeh
Day 23: Respond Quickly to Account Compromise
Speed matters. The longer an attacker has access, the more damage they can do (password resets, data theft, further account takeovers). @ireteeh If you notice unusual logins, password-reset emails you didn’t request...

Day 25: Check Before Scanning QR Codes
QR codes can hide malicious links that lead to phishing sites, malware downloads, or payment scams. Before scanning one in public (posters, menus, parking signs, or random stickers), pause and verify the source. @ireteeh

Encourage them to ask a trusted family member or friend before clicking links or making payments.
A short, calm conversation can prevent a lot of stress and financial loss. Help keep them aware and safe. @CybarikGlobal #cyberaware

Help them with practical habits:
Never share passwords or bank details with anyone who calls or messages unexpectedly.
Verify urgent requests by contacting the person or organization through a known, trusted number (not the one provided in the message).

Day 26: Educate Senior Citizens
Older adults are often targeted by phone scams, phishing emails, fake tech-support calls, and romance or investment fraud. Many aren’t as familiar with modern online tricks, which makes clear, patient guidance especially valuable. @ireteeh

Hello Cyber Friends, there was an error in the topic shared for Day 31, as it was a duplicate of Day 30.
The correct topic for Day 31 is “Perform Regular Cybersecurity Check up”
Thank you for following along.I hope these daily tips are helping you build safer habits online.

You wake up to several replies to a post on your account.
But you didn’t post anything.
You check your messages. Someone has also been sending links to your contacts.
Day 23/31 of @CybarikGlobal cybersecurity diet: Respond Quickly to Account Compromise
Don’t wait to see what else happens. Act immediately:
🔹Open the official app or website from a trusted device and change your password.
🔹Sign out other sessions and remove unfamiliar connected apps.
🔹Check your recovery email and phone number, then enable multi-factor authentication.
🔹Warn your contacts through another channel to ignore suspicious messages.
Locked out? Start the platform’s official account-recovery process immediately.
If you reused that password elsewhere, change it on those accounts too.
Today’s reminder: An unfamiliar post or message is enough reason to check your account’s security.

Day 23: Respond Quickly to Account Compromise
“A quick response is a healthy Cybersecurity habit 👀”
Unusual login alerts, unexpected password resets or changes to your account settings could be warning signs that someone has gained unauthorised access. Ignoring them could give an attacker more time to take control.
Imagine this: You receive a notification that your account’s recovery phone number has been changed, but you ignore it. Later, you discover you can no longer sign in because someone has changed your password.
Quick tip: If you notice unfamiliar logins or unexpected account changes, access the official website or app, change your password from a trusted device, review recovery details, sign out unfamiliar sessions and enable MFA.
What unusual account activity would make you suspect someone else had gained access?

Have you thought of encrypting those confidential files on your laptop?
Imagine you’re heading home after a busy day. Somewhere between leaving the office and getting home, your laptop bag goes missing.
Then you remember what’s inside: client records, staff payroll, and confidential business contracts.
Replacing the laptop is one thing. Having someone read those files is another.
Day 24/31 of @CybarikGlobal cybersecurity diet: Encrypt Sensitive Data on Your Devices
Encryption scrambles your stored information so it needs the correct key to become readable. Someone holding your laptop shouldn’t automatically get access to everything saved on it.
Enabling encryption for your laptop’s storage can protect those files together, you don’t have to encrypt every document individually.
Today’s challenge: Check whether device encryption is enabled, and keep your recovery key somewhere secure and separate from the laptop.
You may not control who finds a missing device, but you can prepare to protect what’s inside.
