October is here, a month most people will associate with Halloween. But for the last 10 years, it’s also been time to focus on another terrifying topic: cybersecurity. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) designated October as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month in 2004 in order to build awareness about online threats and help protect individuals, businesses and communities from seriously scary stuff online.
The month’s agenda includes running social media campaigns, hanging posters about cybersecurity in schools and workplaces, and hosting events around the country to discuss the potential security pitfalls of being online. Each week of the month will have a different online security-related theme, including “Critical Infrastructure and the Internet of Things” and “Secure Development of IT Products.”
