Welcome to Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2022!

Posted: 10/03/2022

Since 2004, the President of the United States and Congress have declared October to be Cybersecurity Awareness Month, helping individuals protect themselves online as threats to technology and confidential data become more commonplace.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA) lead a collaborative effort between government and industry to raise cybersecurity awareness nationally and internationally. While CISA works to increase cybersecurity throughout the government, its regions and critical infrastructure sectors, NCA works with corporations and the general public to raise awareness of action steps we can take to advance digital security.

This year’s campaign theme — “See Yourself in Cyber” — demonstrates that everyone is responsible for their own online behavior. This October will focus on the “people” part of cybersecurity, providing information and resources to help educate CISA partners and the public, and ensure all individuals and organizations make smart decisions whether on the job, at home or at school – now and in the future.

The University of North Georgia’s Office of Information Security will continually post helpful Cybersecurity information to this bulletin throughout the month of October, and additionally to our Facebook and Twitter pages below.
