In the digital age, where threats lurk behind every click, cybersecurity has never been more
essential. Miami University is proudly participating in the 20th annual National Cybersecurity
Awareness Month, emphasizing our commitment to fostering a safer online environment for
everyone. National Cybersecurity Awareness Month was established in 2004 to build awareness
of cybersecurity practices and tools. Celebrated each October, its primary goal is to spread
awareness about cybersecurity and to encourage individuals and organizations to adopt better
online habits.
The theme of this year’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month is Secure Our World, where we focus
on four key cybersecurity best practices:
- Understanding the benefits of using a password manager and dispelling existing myths around password manager security and ease of use.
- Turning on multifactor authentication on personal devices and business networks.
- Recognizing and reporting phishing – still one of the primary threat actions used by cybercriminals today.
- Installing updates on a regular basis and turning on automated updates.
taking the initiative to engage the community in a more interactive manner. Throughout the
month of October, the club will release a series of daily videos packed with valuable
cybersecurity tips and tricks. These videos aim to provide practical advice to help everyone
navigate the online world securely. You can find a link to a playlist containing all of the videos
here.
