September News from Information Security

Welcome to September! Classes are well underway, as are other activities like sports, clubs, jobs, and old routines (or maybe brand new ones).

I knew no one had time to read this while everything else was happening. On the topic of things that are NOT happening anymore, that would be Spring 2024 Cybersecurity Awareness Training.
