October is recognized as Cybersecurity Awareness Month, established in 2003 through a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Cybersecurity Alliance.
To raise awareness across the Purdue University community, Purdue IT has scheduled a series of events in partnership with Know Be4, JPMorgan Chase, the Big Ten Academic Alliance and the National Cybersecurity Alliance.
“Cybersecurity awareness is critical to enhance the organizational culture of current and ongoing cyber threats. The more we know, the safer we become,” said Senior Cybersecurity Awareness Specialist Nolyn Johnson.
