[Valerie Vogel <vvogel () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

Greetings Security, Privacy, IDM, & ITCOMM CG members,

Are you starting to develop your campus awareness campaigns for 2018? We have some new resources that may be helpful as 
you begin to identify hot topics and develop fresh content: http://www.educause.edu/securityawareness#securityawareness

The Higher Education Information Security Council (HEISC) Awareness and Training Working Group has published the third 
year-round campus security awareness campaign designed to support security professionals and IT communicators as they 
develop or enhance their own security awareness plans. The 2018 campaign includes 12 Security Matters column blog posts 
on new monthly topics with ready-made content for your campus communications channels.

The Awareness & Training group worked hard over the summer to make sure the new content and resources were available in 
time for National Cyber Security Awareness Month. You can start to share the content and resources now or use it to 
build next year’s campus awareness campaign over the next few months.

Thank you!
