Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a global effort to help everyone stay safe when using technology whenever and however you connect.
In October, IT Services will promote online safety to encourage all campus members to take control of their online lives.
The cybersecurity and digital privacy of our employees and students is important to the U of A. Throughout the month of October, IT Services will host live events throughout Cybersecurity Awareness Month to dive into cybersecurity topics.
Securing our online campus community is an ongoing effort as cybercriminals continue to evolve their methods. Simple steps like not clicking links in emails or text messages, avoiding downloading unverified attachments and reporting suspicious messages can go a long way toward protecting our university.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month is co-led by the National Cybersecurity Alliance and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA). For more information about ways to stay safe online, visit Stay Safe Online and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
