National Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Simple Steps to Online Safety

October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM), an annual campaign to raise awareness about cybersecurity. The National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) has published general tips to help you increase your cybersecurity awareness—including whom to contact if you are the victim of cyber crime—and protect your online activities.

US-CERT encourages users and administrators to review NCSA’s guidance for online safety basics and the US-CERT Tip on Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks for additional information.
