Created by Valerie M. Vogel (EDUCAUSE) on August 22, 2007

October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM)...but it's never too soon to start planning your campus events!!! We encourage you to consider ways that you can raise awareness among your faculty, staff, and students, and invite you to help promote NCSAM. For further suggestions, please consult the Resource Kit for National Cyber Security Awareness Month, developed by the EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Security Task Force.

Many colleges and universities are already planning events or developing awareness resources for NCSAM that we would like to highlight as part of higher education's ongoing efforts to increase awareness within our community. We've already started a list of institutions that will be holding events in October 2007. Please share the URL or plans for your NCSAM-related initiatives with the Security Discussion Group or send us an e-mail so your institution's plans can be included.
