October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month

October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month, which is a national annual campaign to raise awareness about the importance of cyber security.

During this month, the University Information Security Office (UISO) will host events, share information, and be available to raise awareness about the importance of cyber security.
