Today sees the launch of Cyberhood Watch, the official partnership between Neighbourhood Watch and Avast.
Avast, a leading cyber security company, have come onboard as a new key sponsor for Neighbourhood Watch for the next 12 months.
Members know how pressing the subject of cybersecurity and online fraud is today and it’s only increasing as a key crime issue.
The Cyberhood Watch initiative aims to better equip its members with tools, resources and information needed to stay safe online. Many members are aware of Cyberhood Watch, particularly the 14,000 of them who responded to a survey exploring attitudes and concerns around cybersecurity.
The campaign officially launches, meaning you may read about it in your local or national newspaper, hear about it on the radio, or even see representatives from Neighbourhood Watch and Avast talking about it on TV.
Following the launch there will be a range of useful resources that NWwill add to throughout the partnership, such as blog posts, bespoke toolkits, Cyberhood Watch stickers, etc., as well as an online training course about cybersecurity, available to all members via the new Avast Cyberhood Watch webpage and the Neighbourhood Watch website. Visit either site from tomorrow to find the links.
Over the next 12 months, Avast will be working with Neighbourhood Watch to support the Ambassadors, host events, provide resources for events you may be running, develop useful guides and toolkits, and share Cyberhood Watch stickers and other merchandise to help drive awareness of the initiative across all regions. This initiative is about communities supporting communities when it comes to cybersecurity.
