Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2024 has come to a close, and Bugv Software Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is elated to reflect on an extraordinary month dedicated to empowering individuals and organizations with the knowledge and tools to defend against ever-evolving cyber threats. This year’s theme, “31 Days, 31 Tips,” went beyond a simple awareness campaign – it was a call to action for digital safety, with every day bringing forward actionable advice, engaging quizzes, and insightful discussions.
Our campaign reached thousands across Nepal, educating and inspiring people to take control of their online security, step by step.
Highlights of the Campaign
1. 31 Days, 31 Tips – Simplifying Cybersecurity
Throughout October, we rolled out a daily cybersecurity tip that aimed to empower everyone, regardless of their technical expertise. We focused on accessible, practical advice, such as:
- How to create unbreakable passwords
- Recognizing and avoiding phishing scams
- The importance of two-factor authentication (2FA)
- Privacy settings on social media platforms
- How to detect and prevent malware attacks
Each tip was designed to be easy to understand and implement, with infographics, videos, and text posts spread across our social media platforms. The goal was to make cybersecurity feel approachable and encourage good digital hygiene as part of daily routines.
2. Interactive Quizzes and Exciting Prizes
We kept the momentum high with interactive cybersecurity quizzes that tested participants’ knowledge. The quizzes were a fun way to reinforce the key lessons of the month, and the lucky winners received exciting prizes including:
- Bugv merchandise
- Classic Tech internet vouchers
- Recharge cards
- Wireless tech accessories
These engaging quizzes not only helped test understanding but also promoted active participation and encouraged users to stay connected with the campaign.
3. In-Person Cybersecurity Workshops and Awareness Sessions
Cybersecurity Awareness Month wasn’t just confined to the digital world. Bugv took the initiative to host interactive, hands-on workshops and awareness sessions at institutions like Divya Gyan College, ICMS, and Samarpan Academy. These sessions included live demonstrations of phishing attacks, malware detection, and tips on how to secure personal devices and networks. Students and professionals alike benefited from real-world experience and expert guidance on how to stay safe online.
The live demonstrations were particularly impactful, as they allowed participants to see the dangers of cyber threats firsthand and understand how to protect themselves from them.
