October Security Tip: Cybersecurity Awareness Month

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and we are kicking off our annual celebration with some exciting news: we have officially redesigned our Security website to make staying safe online easier than ever!

Our updated platform offers a streamlined, user-friendly experience that lets you quickly access resources, report phishing, and find step-by-step guides for securing your personal and university devices.

Check out our Cybersecurity Awareness Month webpage packed with events, interactive activities, and security insights. We’re tying together everything we’ve covered over the past year, from password management and phishing defense to travel security and device protection.

Get involved this month:

  • Explore the New Site: Take a few minutes to check out our fresh look and bookmark key resources like the Phish Tank and reporting tools (under Quick Links).
  • Join Cybersecurity Events: Participate in the virtual webinars, security workshops, and games designed to test your cyber savvy.
  • Spread the Word: Share this email with your teams - we are stronger together!

Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility, and every action you take helps protect the entire campus ecosystem. Visit our Cybersecurity Awareness Month hub today to explore the new design and see what’s happening all month long!
