October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month!

Cyberspace is woven into the fabric of our daily lives more than ever before. We enjoy the benefits and convenience that cyberspace provides as many of us shop from home, bank using our smartphones, and interact with friends from around the world through social networks. ASU is committed to raising the bar when it comes to cybersecurity awareness.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month is sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security in cooperation with the National Cyber Security Alliance and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center. Arizona State University participates as a National Cybersecurity awareness month champion.
