October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a global effort to help everyone stay safe and protected when using technology whenever and however you connect. West Chester University Information Services & Technology (IS&T) is once again participating in the Cybersecurity Awareness Month program run by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to create awareness about cybersecurity. This year's awareness theme is Do your Part. #BeCyberSmart. Our goal is to help you make the most of today's technology safely and securely.

Remote Security

This is the final week of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, but you should always try to do your part and #BeCyberSmart. What we do today can affect the future of personal, consumer, and business cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is increasingly becoming more of a consideration in how we work, learn, and play. Cybersecurity is a year-round effort and should be one of our first considerations when we create or buy new devices and connected services.
