Welcome to week 2 of the 2026 Cybersecurity Awareness Month!
Week 2 brings us the story of Zestix. Zestix invaded more than 50 multinational companies because a few people never turned on multifactor authentication.
It’s back! October is here! Fall is…on its way…eventually? Mountain Day has come and gone. It is Cybersecurity Awareness Month and Information Security has all the cybersecurity awareness activities and goodies, ready to go. The Virtual Scavenger Hunt begins today! Prizes await a few lucky adventurers who attempt it. Cybersecurity awareness training started last week.
Welcome to September! The semester is in full effect, with academics, athletics. clubs, and work all vying for attention. I’m glad you chose to come read the September newsletter, as it contains some important announcements and information. There’s information on sensitivity labels, alumni accounts, credit card information, and Cybersecurity Awareness Month packed into this month’s edition.
I understand this email is only one of many you will receive this week, so I want to welcome everyone to the 2026 fall semester and try to cram as much information as I can into as little web page space as possible.
Well…summer finally got here, along with the temperatures to match. We knew it was coming, but it is always a bit overwhelming when it does. Welcome to July and to the July newsletter. This is the “broken record” edition of the newsletter, where I attempt to remind those who have read previous newsletters and educate those who are reading this information for the first time. I also have some information for those who were “unable” to complete both the fall 2025 and the spring 2026 cybersecurity awareness training.
Wait, didn’t you just get a newsletter a few days ago? Yes, but that was May, and May is busy. It is now June and by the time you are reading this, I will be out of the office enjoying some vacation. I hope everyone is able to do the same at some point this summer. Whatever you do, don’t take a vacation from being cyber-aware and vigilant about protecting your data.
By the time you read this, Easter will have passed and April will be in its second week! I hope your Easter weekend was great, however you decided to spend it. We are now in the home stretch for the spring semester. Before we change months again, classes will be over, finals will be happening and we will all be preparing for the summer break. It will be here before we know it. In this last month of the spring semester, I want to bring back to mind some topics we have touched on over the academic year.
