National Cyber Security Awareness Month 2017 is just 4 days away! Here are 5 things you can do to get ready and show your institution’s support during the month of October. 1) Attend our NCSAM Webinar on October 23, 1-2 pm ET Join Jason Hoenich (Habitu8) and the EDUCAUSE community for an in-depth discussion about the risks related to delivering poor awareness programs versus adapting to changing needs and demands of the attack surface and learning behaviors of humans, as well as how to move our programs to Security Awareness 2.0. Registration is now available<https://events.educause.edu/educause-live/webinars/2017/shifting-to-security-awareness-2-0> 2) Become a NCSAM Champion Show your support as a 2017 champion – sign up on behalf of your institution<https://staysafeonline.org/ncsam/ncsam-champion/>. Last year we had over 170 colleges and universities register. Help us beat that record! (It’s free and only takes a few minutes.) 3) Take Advantage of Free Resources for Higher Ed Our Awareness Campaigns page<https://www.educause.edu/focus-areas-and-initiatives/policy-and-security/cybersecurity-program/awareness-campaigns> includes NCSAM resources for colleges and universities, as well as dozens of guest blogs that are part of our year-round campus security awareness campaign with customizable content and suggested resources (the 2018 content was posted earlier this week). 4) Use the Hashtag #CyberAware to Promote NCSAM Share advice, events, activities, and links to resources on Twitter and Facebook using the hashtag #CyberAware.
