    Please be aware that October is Cybersecurity Awareness month. There are many different cybersecurity organizations that recognize and offer additional educational resources around this designation. One such are the folks at StaySafeOnline:

    https://www.staysafeonline.org/cybersecurity-awareness-month

    They offered an online event on October 1, 2025. You can watch the recording at the link above. Their messaging for this year is that small actions can make a big difference. They have focusing on the Core 4. Four easy steps anyone can take to boost their online safety:
    • Use strong passwords and a password manager
    • Turn on multifactor authentication
    • Recognize and report scams
    • Update your software
    As instructors I encourage everyone to help spread messaging about the 'Core 4' and talk about how students can use these and more advanced techniques as well as how they can spread the word about improving cybersecurity.

    Timely info, folk. Thanks for sharing. Will there be any other event within the month to catch up with live? I'll watch this on demand anyways.
