October is
Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
Dear Friend:
Now celebrating its 17th year, the 2020 Cybersecurity Awareness Month theme is “Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart.”
This theme encourages everyone to take ownership of their cybersecurity in every aspect of daily life. Since all online devices are potentially vulnerable, Cybersecurity Awareness Month serves as a reminder that guarding against cyberthreats is a constant, year-round process.
This year, Cybersecurity Awareness Month focused on 4 key areas:
- Week 1: If You Connect It, Protect It— addresses how online devices have impacted our lives, empowering all users to take the right steps to reduce risk.
- Week 2: Securing Devices at Home and Work— focuses on steps individuals and organizations can take to protect online devices for personal and professional use.
- Week 3: Securing Internet-Connected Devices in Health Care—examines health care device use and how consumers and industry can secure these devices.
- Week 4: The Future of Connected Devices— looks at the future of online devices and address how technological strides can impact consumers’ and business’ online experiences.
Cybersecurity professionals play a vital role in helping individuals learn how to be more safe and secure online by sharing their expertise throughout their communities.
Join us in on Thursday, when we hear from Danyetta Mangana, CEO of Covenant Security, a leading small business serving the Federal government and small businesses like ours.
Herbert Nelson Jr.
Chair, ICS Security Working Group
