Be cyber smart

The annual KPMG Global Cyber Day Initiative is a Global Corporate Citizenship program aimed at educating young people on the importance of cyber security and internet risk, as part of KPMG member firms' commitment to supporting our communities.

During the month of October, KPMG cyber security professionals help students, teachers and parents, become more cyber aware through interactive classroom sessions, both in person and virtually, on safe use of personal data, social media, cyber bullying, online gaming and phones.

Our Global Cyber Day coincides with International Cyber Security Awareness Month, an internationally recognized campaign that promotes cyber security among organizations and the public and providing resources to be more secure online.
