Press invitation - Which municipality is the most digitally secure?

It is with great pleasure that the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB) invites you to a press event. On Wednesday 25 September, we will announce which municipality is the most digitally secure.  We are launching a new awareness campaign together with Febelfin and the Cyber Security Coalition with one goal: to keep cybercriminals out. Easy to say, but how do we do it?

Activate Two Factor Authentication

Using strong passwords is important, but passwords alone will not protect you enough. The chances of one of your passwords being visible on the internet right now are fairly high. If a hacker or scammer can get hold of your password, they can use your mailbox, place orders in your name, post something on your Facebook, game on your account in your place, etc...

The good news is that you can prevent it. How? By using two-step verification (2FA) everywhere you can. Does that sound terrifying or complicated? Come discover how we will encourage you, your readers and all Belgians to use two-step verification on a daily basis.

We provide a 2FA help desk for all attendees.
