October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a nationwide campaign and an opportunity to improve the focus on understanding internet security and to raise awareness of the resources available to stay safe online. The Technology Services Department encourages our students, faculty, and staff to do your part and #BeCyberSmart! This year, our emphasis is on the key message: “If you connect it, protect it.”
Each week in October, we will share helpful tips and resources to help you stay safe and secure online — at work and at home. If everyone does their part, our digital world will be safer and more resilient for everyone. Be on the lookout for more information.
