Welcome to Cybersecurity Awareness Month

|

For the past 20 years, October has been recognized as Cybersecurity Awareness Month. This year, our focus during the month will be to use different games to teach our campus community about areas of concern regarding cybersecurity. Look for daily digest posts throughout the month. Play Wordle games each Tuesday and Thursday to learn cybersecurity terms. Each Wednesday will have a link to a different online cybersecurity game. As always, Friday will be a Tip of the Week to keep you and your family safe online.
