WHY THIS MONTH MATTERS

Cybersecurity is not only a technology issue. It is a shared behavior.

🛡️

Protect our information

Every file, message and system interaction can affect the security of our organization. Small secure habits make a meaningful difference.

◉

Recognize evolving threats

Cyber threats keep changing. Awareness helps us identify suspicious behavior, question unusual requests and respond before risks escalate.

✦

Build a security culture

Strong cybersecurity is created when secure thinking becomes part of how we work, collaborate and make decisions every day.

This year's spotlight: AI Security

AI is opening powerful new possibilities — and new security questions. During the month, we will focus on using AI responsibly, protecting sensitive information, identifying AI-enabled threats and understanding why human judgment remains essential.

PAY ATTENTION TO URLS

A QR code can take you somewhere unexpected. Did you check where this one led?

This page is hosted at an IP address: a series of numbers instead of a familiar website name. That does not make it malicious. It does show why you should check the destination of every QR code and link, even when the poster or message looks trustworthy.

✅ Looks right https://cybersecurity.opecfund.org
❌ Red flag http://185.42.11.203/opecfund-login
❌ Red flag https://opecfund-secure-login.com

Be wary of raw IP addresses

Legitimate OPEC Fund services use recognizable domain names, not bare numeric addresses. A link that skips the domain entirely is a warning sign.

🔒

Check for HTTPS and correct spelling

Look for the padlock and the correct "opecfund.org" domain. Watch for lookalikes with extra words, hyphens or unfamiliar endings.
