National Cyber Security Awareness Week is an annual initiative of the
Australian Government held in partnership with industry, community and
consumer groups and state and territory governments. 

It is designed to raise awareness among Australians of cyber security
risks and simple steps they can take to protect their personal and
financial information online.

National Cyber Security Awareness Week 2010 is from 6 to 11 June. It
will promote six easy tips for better online security:

1 Install security software and update it regularly. 
2 Turn on automatic updates so that all your software receives the
latest fixes. 
3 Get a stronger password and change it at least twice a year. 
4 Stop and think before you click on links or attachments. 
5 Stop and think before you share any personal or financial
information?about yourself or your friends and family. 

Know what your children are doing online. Make sure they know to stay
safe and encourage them to report anything suspicious. 

Around 140 partners will promote the messages of the Awareness Week
through activities online and events in regional and metropolitan
Australia.
