Something Different for National Cyber Security Awareness Month

Created by Valerie M. Vogel (EDUCAUSE) on October 14, 2009

We’re almost halfway through National Cyber Security Awareness Month. It’s not too late to participate!

How are your security awareness initiatives going?
Are you doing anything you consider to be really different?
How are you reaching the Net Generation?

Here are a couple of initiatives that are just a little ways off the beaten track:

At the Rochester Institute of Technology, they're holding a “Phishy: Phrends and Phoes Security Awareness Costume Contest”. For more information and pictures, check out RIT's Facebook event page. (Yes, they're renting a fish costume and having their student employees walk around campus sharing information about phishing!)
The UTSA-Office of Information Technology has created an “RU Safe Online” pirate-themed website, including pirate music, games, and more. Aargh!
