October is National

Cybersecurity Awareness Month!

 

What is CyberSecurity Awareness Month?

Founded in 2004, Cybersecurity Awareness Month, held each October, is the world’s foremost initiative aimed at promoting cybersecurity awareness and best practices. The Cybersecurity Awareness Month Champions Program, which FinancialEdge Credit Union is a part of, is a collaborative effort among businesses, government agencies, colleges and universities, associations, nonprofit organizations, and individuals committed to the Cybersecurity Awareness Month theme of ‘Secure Our World.’

Cybersecurity Awareness Month aims to highlight some of the emerging challenges that exist in the world of cybersecurity today and provide straight forward actionable guidance that anyone can follow to create a safe and secure digital world for themselves and their loved ones.
