October is Cybersecurity Awareness month. National Cybersecurity Awareness month is important because it is necessary to have protections for critical infrastructure to detect and deter cyber threats. We have to keep systems up to date and protect our data. We have to practice good security, use multifactor authentication for accounts and digital devices and limit personal information and location data that is shared. We also need to secure our applications and protect and secure our information to make things that should be private so that they can remain private. It is important to follow NIST Frameworks and consider if something is secure before connecting to it. It is important to continue cybersecurity training annually and attend educational events throughout the year.
