Cybersecurity Awareness Month

To promote this year’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Team AgLearn is providing resources to encourage engagement with this annual awareness campaign.


Background


Since 2004, the President of the United States and Congress have declared October to be Cybersecurity Awareness Month, helping individuals protect themselves online as threats to technology and confidential data become more commonplace. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA) lead a collaborative effort between government and industry to raise cybersecurity awareness nationally and internationally.
