HALOCK Security Labs has announced its commitment to Data Privacy Day – an international effort held on Jan. 28 to create awareness about the importance of data privacy – as a Data Privacy Day 2020 Champion.

This year, we encourage everyone to “Own Your Privacy” by learning more about how to help protect the valuable data that is online. One simple thing you can do is to update your privacy settings by using a helpful tool created by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA).

HALOCK is dedicated to informing and helping the public through security awareness resources such as cyber tip posters and promote best practices to keep their data safe. HALOCK recognizes how essential privacy is, and we proudly support Data Privacy Day to help educate and drive awareness on safeguarding personal information.” – Cindy Kaplan, Director at HALOCK.
