Cybersecurity Awareness Month
This October marks the 19th anniversary of Cybersecurity Awareness Month! According to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a “collaborative effort between government and industry to enhance cybersecurity awareness, encourage actions by the public to reduce online risk and generate discussion on cyber threats on a national and global scale."
This year, the initiative is focusing on four core objectives:
- Use strong passwords or a password manager
- Turn on multi factor authentication
- Recognize and report phishing
- Update passwords
We all have a role to play in keeping our interconnected world safer and more resilient for everyone. Empower your friends, colleagues, and family with tools and tips here: https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/resources/cybersecurity-awareness-month-2023-resources-and-partner-toolkit
