Break Out the Decorations! Cybersecurity Awareness Month is Here

Calendars are great and serve a wide range of purposes. Paper calendars, digital calendars, calendars with Garfield or Peanuts comics, they all have the ability remind us of birthdays, the first day of school, garbage pick-up day and holidays.

So, let’s make sure your calendar has October marked down as Cybersecurity Awareness Month. 

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), in partnership with the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCSA), today kicks off the 20th annual Cybersecurity Awareness Month. The month-long event is a public and private venture designed to educate businesses, their customers and consumers on the need for cybersecurity and steps they can take to increase their security posture.
Trustwave will again participate through a series of social media posts containing cybersecurity tips and safety measures that any organization or consumer can implement.

During Cybersecurity Awareness Month, it is important to remember that there are various methods to protect your data. Even though the majority of news articles focus on large-scale breaches and attacks, an organization can greatly increase its odds of staying safe simply by implementing a few basic cybersecurity practices.
With this in mind, the NCSA will focus on four key cybersecurity behaviors during the month.
