Since 2004, the President of the United States and Congress have declared October to be National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM), in an effort to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity across our nation.
IT Services supports NCSAM and is dedicated to increasing awareness throughout our campus community regarding the importance of practicing cybersecurity everyday. Students and staff members are encouraged to become more mindful of the risks associated with using the internet and learn how to protect themselves from cyber attacks. By following the security best practices outlined via the links below, we can protect our identity and privacy while reducing our liabilities.
The 2022 NCSAM theme See Yourself in Cyber reiterates the increasingly understood truth that cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility.
