October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month. This year’s theme is “Our Shared Responsibility,” reflecting that we all make a difference when it comes to cyber security. <\/p>\n

You may not realize it, but you are the best defense we have against cyber attackers. Regardless of what data you access or what systems you use, you are key in not only protecting our organization, but helping to identify and report suspicious activity.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, protecting yourself and our organization from cyber attackers is not as hard as you may think. All it takes is understanding some key behaviors and following our policies and procedures.<\/p>\n

Beginning today, the Information Security Office is rolling out the new Information Security Awareness Training course in Blackboard. This training is required for all members of the workforce. Have questions about the training? Please visit the Information Security Office website<\/a> or contact the office by email<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
