National Cyber Security Awareness Month 2016

October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month. This is important because cyber threats are gaining traction and putting our data and computer-driven infrastructure at risk every day – internationally, nationally and at SIU. 

On campus we have seen an increase in  spam, scams and phishing designed to gain access to personal and business information. During the month of October, The Office of Information Technology will be sharing information about cyber security resources and weekly workshops targeting non-technical users. Faculty, staff and students are welcome to attend but need to register in advance.  The sessions are as follows:

National Cyber Security Workshops - Morris Library, Room 139
Thu., 10/6 10:30 AM The Basics of Cyber Security
Wed., 10/12 10:30 AM Protecting Your Devices
Wed, 10/19 10:30 AM Protecting Your Data
Wed, 10/26 10:30 AM Protecting Yourself
