Good Afternoon!

October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month and a great time to
reinforce best practices related to identity theft prevention.  The threat
of Identity theft affects us all as individuals, and administrators
responsible for the security of others.  There are a number of resources at
your disposal to assist you in combating identity theft and this is a great
opportunity to get your constituents 'tuned-in'.

Resources

This comprehensive site will provide you with a wealth of information. Free
booklets and pamphlets are available as well as quizzes to test user
knowledge and best practices in understandable language.
