As the 11th anniversary of National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) wraps up, we would like to thank the higher education community for another successful celebration! Colleges and universities continue to offer fun, creative activities and events for students, faculty, staff, and their local communities. Here are just a few highlights.
NCSAM Champions: Over 100 higher education institutions showed their support along with individuals, businesses, organizations, and government.
NCSAM Activities: More than 200 institutions shared their plans during the month of October. See what events took place by visiting the NCSAM Resource Kit.
Weekly Guest Blogs: Following NCSA's weekly themes, guest bloggers provided fresh content on a variety of security-related issues. View a complete list of blog posts on our National Cyber Security Awareness Month page.
Webinar: A recording of the October 14 EDUCAUSE Live! webinar, "CIO Insights on Cybersecurity" with Peter J. Murray, Michele Norin, and Melissa Woo, is available, along with the slides and chat transcript.
#NCSAM on Twitter: Colleges and universities joined the #NCSAM conversation by tweeting daily tips, resources, and more.
We hope that campuses will continue to educate and train students, staff, and faculty on the importance of security awareness throughout the year—not just in October. Be sure to check out the Cybersecurity Awareness Resource Library for new materials or inspiration as you continue planning over the next year.
