October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, an international initiative that educates everyone about online safety and empowers individuals and businesses to protect their data from cybercrime. Even amidst large-scale data breaches and cyberattacks, Cybersecurity Awareness Month reminds everyone that there are simple, effective ways to keep yourself safe online, protect your personal data, and ultimately help secure our world.
Technology Association of Iowa is proud to be a champion and support this online safety and education initiative this October. We encourage Iowa’s business community to think beyond awareness and take action on cybersecurity practices during October and throughout the year.
