It’s October, which means it is Cybersecurity Awareness Month! The theme for this year is “Secure Our World.” Secure Our World empowers everyone to understand simple ways to protect themselves, their families and their businesses from online threats. In our case, this also means we can also protect our campus, our peers and ourselves.

• Create strong , unique passphrases

Throughout this month, we will be posting blogs packed with tips and insights on how you can better protect yourself, along with the latest cybersecurity news.
