CyberSecurity Awareness Month 2023

It's October!

As the days get shorter and the leaves start to change, there's one more thing that October brings with it – Cybersecurity Awareness Month!

What is Cybersecurity Awareness Month?

Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a national initiative designed to educate individuals about the importance of cybersecurity, both personally and professionally. It's a reminder that we all play a crucial role in keeping our online spaces safe and secure.

Every October, SDSU is launching a month-long program to create awareness about cybersecurity.
 

How can you get involved?

We've got an exciting lineup of events and resources to help you become cybersecurity-savvy:

• Webinars: Join experts for informative webinars on topics like online privacy, password management, and more.
• Cybersecurity Challenges: Test your knowledge and win prizes with our cybersecurity-themed challenges.
• Educational Resources: Access guides, articles, and videos to enhance your cybersecurity knowledge.

No one is immune to threats from cyber-villains but, with proper safeguards and a bit of advanced effort, we can all protect ourselves from online dangers.
