October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM). In 2004, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) launched NCSAM in an effort to help all Americans stay safer and keep their data more secure online.
Throughout the month of October, ITS will be spreading awareness of Cybersecurity on social media and encouraging engagement from followers in order to reach as many people as possible. Cybersecurity is a collective effort of governments, companies, groups, and/or individuals, and we all play a role in improving our security defense.
This October, follow us on social media to receive security tips, infographics, and resources on cybersecurity in the following areas:
- Social media
- Password practices
- Multi-factor authentication
- Phishing
- Malware
- Ransomware
- Spoofing
- Shoulder surfing
- Device maintenance
- Mobile device safety
- Public wi-fi usage
Additional resources will also be available here for you to gain even more knowledge in cybersecurity.
We look forward to engaging with you on social media throughout October during National Cybersecurity Awareness Month!
