Week 1 (Oct. 4 - 8): Be Cyber Smart

• Watch our Information Security Training!

• Kick off Cybersecurity Awareness Month with a free virtual event! 
  

  When you hear the term cybersecurity, what comes to mind? While preventing digital threats and assessing risks are all part of a day’s work, the injection of learner agency, empowerment and data privacy by design has taken the field to new realms.

  Every year, October marks Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and ASU is engaged in a campaign to spread greater understanding and transparency. Join us on October 6th from 9:00 - 12:00 a.m. for a kick-off October’s activities, hosted by ASU Information Security and Digital Trust in association with the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA). #BeCyberSmart
