Cybersecurity awareness campaigns launch for Cybermois 2026

October 2026 marks the fourteenth edition of Cybermois, a European cybersecurity awareness campaign. In France, the initiative focuses on educating families and individuals about digital risks, such as social media hacking, banking scams, and online harassment. Key recommendations include using unique passwords via managers, installing software updates promptly, and maintaining skepticism toward unsolicited requests for sensitive information.

Simultaneously, the Indian Ocean Cybersecurity Observatory (OCOI) has launched a regional tour to promote digital safety among private organizations, public actors, and associations. This regional initiative includes professional workshops in La Réunion covering the NIS 2 directive, AI resilience, and technical audits. The program also addresses the specific needs of associations to prevent data leaks involving sensitive personal information.
