October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month!

October means pumpkin spice lattes, changing colors, cooling temperatures, Halloween, and National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. This year's themes are: "It’s easy to stay safe online!" and "See Yourself In Cyber". These themes highlight how there are simple steps that everyone can take to enhance their security online at home, at work, at school, and in your everyday lives.

Parkland College is a proud Champion of National Cybersecurity awareness month and is providing these resources to help you #BeCyberSmart. The main focus areas for this year center around cyber hygiene and easy ways to improve. There are four areas of focus: enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA), strong passwords and password managers, keeping software up-to-date, and recognizing phishing and reporting it.
