The need for protection against cyber threats does not end with the conclusion of Cybersecurity Awareness Month in October. It is up to all Boilermakers to stay vigilant to protect their accounts and personal information. Successful phishing attacks and other security breaches pose risk not just to individuals but also to Purdue systems, networks and research, impacting the Purdue University system.

The Purdue Systems Security Cybersecurity Awareness team, part of Purdue IT, provides year-round training for faculty, staff and students about ongoing cybersecurity threats and resources. Cybersecurity updates, FAQs and training videos are available through the online Cybersecurity Awareness hub.

“Universities are one of the primary targets for cyber threat actors, so we must all become cyber aware,” said Purdue Senior Cybersecurity Awareness Specialist Nolyn Johnson Jr., DBA, CISM, SANS SSAP, NCSP, Sec+, MIT, ITIL.
