Cybersecurity awareness has never been more important than it is right now. Governments, businesses, and individuals are increasingly under attack by cybercriminals looking for profit or political gain. It seems like everywhere you look, malware attacks are on the rise, from cyberespionage attempts on mobile phones to ransomware attacks on businesses. The topic even received national attention in the first presidential debate, where Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton said, “I think cybersecurity will be one of the biggest challenges facing the next president.”
It’s a challenge for government and industry, yes, but it’s also a responsibility for each one of us to do our part. And that’s why we’re putting a spotlight on National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM).
NCSAM, observed every October, was created by the Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber Security Alliance to ensure that every American has the resources they need to stay safer and more secure online.
To learn more about National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, check out the resources on the Department of Homeland Security website, as well as these helpful tips to get involved from Educause and the National Cyber Security Alliance.
Thanks, and happy (safe) surfing!
