IT services wants you to be aware of phishing. Visit our information booth during Cyber Security Awareness Month.

Once again Miami is recognizing the importance of National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) with a variety of events on the Oxford, Hamilton and Middletown campuses. 

An information booth will be available on each campus throughout the month of October. Stop by to learn how you can better protect yourself, your information, and your devices, as well as meet Miami’s information security staff and spin the prize wheel.

Information and cyber security continue to be significant issues for higher education and for individuals everywhere. National Cyber Security Awareness Month was created as a collaborative effort between government and industry to ensure every American has the resources they need to stay safer and more secure online.

This year is the 13th year for NCSAM.
