October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month! Annually, the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency () and the National Cyber Security Alliance () dedicate this month to promoting security awareness across the industry, this year's national theme is "Securing the Next 250."

At É«ÖÐÉ«, we'll build on that theme through our ongoing "We Can DoIT Together" campaign, empowering our campus community to make cybersecurity a shared responsibility.

Join us throughout October for webinars, engaging activities, and cybersecurity awareness events designed to help keep our campus community safe. Together, we can strengthen our security-conscious culture at The Beach!
