October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month!
​

National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) was launched by the National Cyber Security Alliance and the US Department of Homeland Security in October 2004. The intent of this collaboration was to ensure every American had access to the resources they needed to stay safer and more secure online. 2018 marks the 15th anniversary of NCSAM, which has grown exponentially over the years. The focus has often been on keeping the whole family safer online, but these tips carry right over into the workplace.

This year's NCSAM themes are as follows:

Week 1 (October 1-5): Make Your Home a Haven for Online Safety
Week 2 (October 8-12): Millions of Rewarding Jobs: Education for a Career in Cybersecurity
Week 3 (October 15-19: It's Everyone's Job to Ensure Online Safety at Work
Week 4 (October 22-26): Safeguarding the Nation's Critical Infrastructure

I will be posting daily tips to UTIAsecurity on Facebook and Twitter. The tips, often courtesy of the STOP. THINK. CONNECT. campaign, will help you and your family learn that everyone can and must share the responsibility for using the Internet safely and securely.

Thanks!

Sandy, Chief Information Security Officer
