Learn tips for staying safe online during Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Shhh… Want to get an inside scoop?

We have some quick tips to share about protecting your online data, and you don’t need to be an IT professional to use them. There are simple tools and websites that can help you to reduce your risk of a cyber threat. You can learn more about these secrets, tools and sites on our website celebrating Cybersecurity Awareness Month (Source: it.wisc.edu).

This year’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month theme is “See Yourself in Cyber.” Our personal and professional lives have moved online, and with that change comes the added responsibility to keep our data and the UW’s data protected. If you see yourself on the internet, then you should see yourself as a cybersecurity steward.

To learn if your email accounts have been compromised, how to identify a phishing attempt, or to read about a free tool that eliminates the need to remember multiple passwords, head over to the Cybersecurity Awareness Month site (Source: it.wisc.edu).

If you’re feeling adventurous, take our quick online Cybersecurity Awareness scavenger hunt (Source: doc.google.com) to get more recommendations for protecting yourself. You can also access the annual Cybersecurity Awareness Training there, which is required for all employees (and offered to all students)!
