About Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Every October since 2004, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA) have united to raise cybersecurity awareness nationally and internationally through Cybersecurity Awareness Month. The event aims to ensure that organizations and individuals have the information and tools to stay safe and secure online. Educating users and employees is one of the most effective ways to stop them (and your business) from becoming targets. This October, Securance will promote ways to recognize cyber threats and protect your organization over the long term.
