Cybersecurity Awareness Month
Now in its 19th year, Cybersecurity Awareness Month (previously called National Cybersecurity Awareness Month) is a collaborative effort, co-led by the National Cybersecurity Alliance and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) between government and industry to raise cybersecurity awareness nationwide and help ensure that all Americans have the resources they need to be safe and secure online. This year's overarching theme is See Yourself In Cyber.
As a National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCSA) champion, LMU is launching a month-long program to create awareness about cybersecurity with a focus on these four key behaviors. Learn more here.
