Kick-Off:  October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month!

At SFSU, cybersecurity isn’t just an IT issue, it’s everyone’s responsibility. Whether you’re protecting your classwork, personal accounts, or campus data, small steps make a big difference. This year’s theme, “Stay Safe Online,” reminds us that good cyber habits are simple and achievable.

Throughout October, we’ll highlight the Core 4 actions to boost your security:

  • Use strong passwords and a password manager.
  • Turn on multifactor authentication.
  • Keep your device software updated.
  • Spot and report online cyber scams.

 

Even amidst large-scale data breaches and cyberattacks, Cybersecurity Awareness Month reminds everyone that there are simple, effective ways to keep yourself safe online, protect your personal data, and ultimately help secure our world.
