October is CyberSecurity Awareness Month
Home / October is CyberSecurity Awareness Month
October marks the arrival of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a public awareness campaign launched by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA). Our mission is clear: to arm individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to safeguard their personal data from the pervasive threat of digital crime.
As we celebrate the 20th year of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we take stock of the strides made in security education in that time, while also looking towards the path ahead. This sentiment echoes the theme of this years campaign; "Secure our World," emphasizing our collective mission to forge a secure, interconnected global landscape.
This year, the importance of Cyber Security Awareness Month cannot be overstated. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the FBI has recorded an alarming 300% surge in cybercrime. This sobering statistic is a stark reminder of awareness's critical role, considering that 95% of all cyber-attacks arise from human error. While these statistics may seem daunting, there are simple cybersecurity practices you can employ to make a significant difference in safeguarding against online threats.
That's why we've created a free resource kit available throughout October, designed to strengthen your online security. You can also request this kit sent directly to your inbox, making it easy to implement awareness measures within your organization.
