October Is National Cyber Security Awareness Month

Perhaps it's not a coincidence that the September National Preparedness Month is followed by National Cyber Security Awareness Month. Organized by the National Cyber Security Alliance, it aims to educate users in the home, business, and school environments about healthy and secure computing habits.

This year's theme is "Our Shared Responsibility,"  which is probably not lost to readers of our blog and Security Corner content, as poor computing habits like not updating your malware and virus definitions would inevitably cause wider spread of any infections.

Many agencies and academic institutions are hosting free online and offline events, so check them out for more information on how to learn more to stay safe online.
