This October, the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSE) and its Get Cyber Safe campaign launch Cyber Security Awareness Month (Cyber Month) 2025 with the theme “Get cyber safe – for future you”.

Cyber Month is an internationally recognized campaign held each October to highlight the importance of cyber security.
