ENISA Launches Information Security Awareness Videos in 23 European Languages
BRUSSELS and HERAKLION, Greece, November 18, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
US Department of Homeland Security promotes ENISA videos during National
Cyber Security Awareness Month
ENISA (the European Network and Information Security Agency
[http://www.enisa.europa.eu ]) has launched a series of free videos in all
23 official EU languages. Designed to help raise awareness of information
security risks and encourage secure handling of electronic data, the 13
video clips range from how to use strong passwords and protect sensitive
data to locking down and securing your computer. They can now be downloaded
from the Agency website (
http://www.enisa.europa.eu/act/ar/material/awareness-raising-video-clips
) and are suitable for use in information security training programmes and
other awareness initiatives.
"We felt it was important to make our video material available in all of
the official EU languages to make the greatest impact on EU citizens,
businesses and governments," said Professor Udo Helmbrecht, Executive
Director of ENISA
[http://www.enisa.europa.eu/about-enisa/structure-organization/executive-director ]
. "Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility and in today's world of
24x7 ecommerce, social media and communications, it is therefore vital that
we are all aware of the risks and follow simple steps to protect our
identities and information. The videos are a fast and clear way to get these
messages across and we want to encourage governments, organisations,
businesses, schools and colleges to use them to help spread the word."
The launch is part of ENISA's on-going commitment to raise information
security awareness. It is also in line with the aims and objectives of the
joint EU-US Working Group on Cybersecurity and Cybercrime, which has the
objective to ensure a reliable, resilient and trustworthy digital
infrastructure through collaboration. In October, the US Department of
Homeland Security promoted the ENISA videos during one of the four thematic
weeks of its eighth annual National Cyber Security Awareness Month, focusing
on online security for small and medium sized businesses.
