Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Cybersecurity Awareness Month, every October, is a collaboration between government and private industry to raise awareness about digital security and empower everyone to protect their personal data from digital forms of crime.

The month is dedicated to creating resources and communications for organizations to talk to their employees and customers about staying safe online.

Now in its 19th year, Cybersecurity Awareness Month continues to build momentum and impact co-led by the National Cybersecurity Alliance and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) with the overarching theme for 2022: See Yourself In Cyber

It can make a huge difference even by practicing the basics of cybersecurity.

This year, we are focusing on four key behaviors instead of weekly themes:

We encourage you to take a risk-based approach and focus on the behaviors most important to your organization.

Everyone has a right to a safe internet, so let’s remember to #BeCyberSmart
