National Cybersecurity Awareness Month: What to Know for 2020

Did you know that October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month?

But also, what is cybersecurity awareness? 

Cybersecurity Awareness refers to every individual’s knowledge about cybersecurity threats — including what they are, how to prevent and respond to them, and the consequences of a cyber breach.

Does everyone need cybersecurity awareness? Yes!

Whether you are a part of a large organization, small business, and anyone at home, it is important to keep the interconnected world a safe place!

And that is exactly what the National Cybersecurity Alliance aims to do with National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Every October they work to create and empower a safer digital world.
