[Valerie Vogel <vvogel () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

As the 15th anniversary of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) wraps up, we would like to thank the higher 
education community another amazingly successful celebration! Colleges and universities continue to offer fun, creative 
activities and events for students, faculty, staff, and their local communities. Here are just a few highlights.


  *   NCSAM Champions: Over 260 higher education institutions showed their support as official 2018 
champions<https://staysafeonline.org/ncsam/ncsam-champions/>, along with individuals, businesses, organizations, and 
government agencies.
  *   Webinar: Almost 250 participants joined us for the October 11 EDUCAUSE Live! webinar, Campus-Wide Two-Factor 
Authentication (2FA) Saturation 
Campaign<https://events.educause.edu/educause-live/webinars/2018/campus-wide-two-factor-authentication-2fa-saturation-campaign>
 and we’ve already had over 200 on-demand views of the recording.
  *   Twitter: Colleges and universities joined EDUCAUSE, Internet2, and the REN-ISAC in daily #CyberAware 
conversations and weekly #ChatSTC Twitter chats to help share higher ed resources and tips.
  *   Partnerships: EDUCAUSE, Internet2, Duo Security, and the National Cyber Security Alliance partnered to help raise 
awareness<https://staysafeonline.org/blog/adoption-mfa-higher-education/> about the adoption of 2FA/MFA in higher ed.
