This annual event, which occurs each October, aims to raise public awareness about cybersecurity and its significance.\n\nInspired by this year's theme, 'Don't Make It Easy for Them', the walk sought to emphasize the importance of consistent, small habits that can deter cybercriminals. The initiative was attended by cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts who came together to make cybersecurity a more tangible concept for those who need it most.\n\nGbolabo Awelewa, the Chief Business Officer at esentry, explained that the walk was designed to bring the conversation about cybersecurity out of the workplace and into the community. \"Cybersecurity awareness works best when it reaches people where they live and work,\" he said. \"By taking the conversation onto the streets, we can engage communities and demonstrate the relevance of cybersecurity in everyday life.\"\n\nAwelewa emphasized esentry's commitment to helping businesses of all sizes understand and mitigate the risks they face in the digital landscape. \"At esentry, we are working towards a country where every business, irrespective of scale, understands its risks and has the necessary protection in place,\" he stated. \"This walk is just one step towards achieving that goal.\"",
