Each year, during National CyberSecurity Awareness Month, the cybersecurity professional community comes together to focus on cybersecurity and encourage others to exercise proper cyber hygiene.  The Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber Security Alliance has sponsored NCSAM since its inception in 2004.

The University of South Alabama's Information Security Office has constructed important cybersecurity topics for each week in October. This year's theme focuses on Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart. and will provide some helpful information on how to improve your cybersecurity posture.
