It’s October! And that can mean only one thing. It’s time to kick off the annual Cybersecurity Awareness Month , hosted by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). With remote work the new normal for most and ransomware attacks at peak fever pitch, there’s no time like now to learn about cybersecurity, or for those in the know, for a refresher on some of the common pitfalls to avoid in order to keep your data safe.

In celebration of this month of best practices discovery, (ISC)² created a one-stop-shop to find helpful cybersecurity knowledge and tips. Throughout October we’ll be adding more links to new blog posts and research as they become available, so check back often here .

Follow the (ISC)² social media channels on Twitter and LinkedIn and search the hashtags #BeCyberSmart and #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth to stay abreast of all the activities and knowledge sharing across the industry this month. 

Cybersecurity Awareness Month also coincides with European Cybersecurity Month and (ISC)² CEO Clar Rosso was featured on morning news program GBN Live in London where she talked about the cyber threats that individuals and organizations face and some of the basic security best practices that they can employ to mitigate risk.
