AISN Proudly Participates in Cybersecurity Awareness Month
October marks the annual Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a nationwide initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of cybersecurity. Led by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCSA), this campaign emphasizes the theme: “Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart.” It urges individuals and organizations alike to take personal responsibility for safeguarding their part of cyberspace and adopt proactive cybersecurity measures.
The world’s reliance on the internet has skyrocketed in the past three years. Both businesses and individuals have adapted to an increasingly digital world—whether for socializing, conducting business, or staying entertained. At AIS Network, for instance, we even took our annual staff holiday party virtual.
However, this increased online presence comes with the heightened need to secure digital lives. Cybersecurity Awareness Month serves as a reminder that our online safety practices directly impact the virtual security of our communities—and, ultimately, our nation.
Cybersecurity is at the heart of everything we do at AISN. We are dedicated to helping our clients build resilience and strengthen their defenses against evolving cyber threats. This October, we encourage your organization to take part in Cybersecurity Awareness Month by focusing on critical areas such as:
- Be Cyber Smart: Take simple yet effective steps to protect your digital life.
- Fight the Phishing! Learn to recognize and report phishing attempts, often leading to ransomware and other malware attacks.
- Explore. Experience. Share. Celebrate the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education’s (NICE) Cybersecurity Career Awareness Week, and explore how you or others can contribute to the growing cybersecurity workforce.
- Think Cybersecurity First: With the world relying more on virtual spaces for work and play, cybersecurity must be at the forefront of all online activities.
Securing your online presence is not just necessary but a responsibility. At AISN, we offer a variety of resources to help you enhance your cybersecurity practices:
