National Cyber Security Awareness Month 2011 is HERE!

[Nicole Kegler <nk278 () GEORGETOWN EDU>]

It's that time of year again! October is National Cyber Security 
Awareness Month.
Help us raise awareness with your faculty, staff, and students in 
October by promoting National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM). We 
will start the month off with an EDUCAUSE Live! webcast on October 4 
(1-2 pm EDT). Register _here_ <http://net.educause.edu/live1127> to 
listen to Jenny Menna (DHS), Bridget-Anne Hampden (Department of 
Education), and HEISC co-chairs Larry Conrad and Michele Norin as they 
talk about "Cybersecurity as a Shared Responsibility: Stop, Think, and 
Connect."
If you plan on holding an event in October, please share your plans and 
any applicable URL's with this group or send an e-mail to 
_security-council@educause.edu_ 
<mailto:security-council () educause edu?subject=NCSAM%202011%20Plans> so 
your institution's activities can be included with our list of 2011 
campus events.
This year the EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Higher Education Information Security 
Council (HEISC), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the 
National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) have made it even easier to get 
involved.
