It's Cybersecurity Awareness Month -  “Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart.”

Every year in October, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), in collaboration with the  National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA)  sponsor the National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) in an effort to raise awareness on the importance of cybersecurity through the  STOP.THINK.CONNECT campaign. The NCSAM's theme for this year is  “Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart.” The goal is to raise awareness on the importance of cybersecurity and ensure that all Americans nationwide have access to resources that empower them to stay safer and more secure online. 

“This year, we’ve seen a major, and likely permanent, shift in the way we work, learn, and socialize, as more and more of our activities have gone virtual,” said Christopher Krebs, who serves as the first director of the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) . “Gone are the days when individuals could think about cybersecurity casually. Our homes, schools, and businesses are now more connected than ever, introducing a whole new set of potential vulnerabilities. Everyone needs to be aware of these risks and take an active role in addressing them. During this month, we are working to boost every American’s cyber readiness and our nation’s collective cybersecurity.” 

Cybersecurity is everyone's responsibility and it starts with you!
