Cyber security expert calls for citizens to be empowered to protect own data.
A national cyber office led by a new coordinator for cyber security will be established under the Home Affairs Department to lead a renewed strategy.
Vanessa Teague is a cyber security expert and says we don’t need top-down ‘authoritarian’ cyber security, but citizens to be empowered to protect themselves.
Cyber security experts are calling for citizens to be empowered to protect their own data. This includes steps such as using strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and keeping software up to date.
It also includes being aware of phishing scams and understanding the importance of data privacy. Furthermore, citizens should be aware of their rights when it comes to data protection and privacy and ensure that any data they provide is managed responsibly.
Additionally, it is important to be aware of how your data is being used, and to ensure that it is used securely and appropriately. Citizens should understand the value of their data and be proactive in protecting it.
