We can all joke how there seems to be a day or month for almost anything. National Ice Cream Day, National Pet Tricks Day, National Flip Flop Day,…and so many more. And those things have their places, don’t get me wrong. (Actually, Ice Cream Day should be every day in my book, but I digress…) But one topic that almost everyone could take a serious stance on these days - staying safe online. So, with that in mind, Happy Cybersecurity Awareness Month!
According to CISA, for twenty years now, our federal elected officials have “declared October to be Cybersecurity Awareness Month, time dedicated for the public and private sectors to work together to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity.” It’s a great time for the added reminders of changing and strengthening passwords, updating software, and giving your network a wellness check. Are we keeping out what we don’t want on our networks and protecting what we have on there?
If this seems overwhelming, you’re not alone. And we get it. That’s part of why Charleston Security Tech started offering the services we offer. We want to help empower our clients to feel safe within their digital environments. Feel free to reach out with questions or a consultation on your cybersecurity status.
Now, similar to the ice cream thing, Cybersecurity Awareness should not be fleeting. Cybersecurity is important every day of every month. But we do tip our hats to all of the efforts and opportunities that are shared to help make our digital landscape safer for all.
