As summer has now passed us by, we welcome October with open arms.

October is not only the celebration of Autumn and Halloween, it’s also Cybersecurity Awareness Month. This annual campaign aims to provide cyber awareness for all technology users.

Cybersecurity is the core of what we do, so we want to take time this month to help educate all internet users the importance of staying safe online.

In order to help raise awareness, we have compiled a list of Top Tips & FAQ’s  for staying safe online.

JavaScript is essentially a scripting programming language that allows you to implement complex items onto your webpage. Every time a webpage becomes interactive with the user, e.g interactive maps, videos, countdown timer and music, and even colours, chances are JavaScript is involved.
