Welcome to week four of Cybersecurity Awareness Month! This is the last week and we are winding down both cybersecurity awareness training and the Virtual Scavenger Hunt (VSH). All four weeks of the hunt are now available, so if you were waiting so you wouldn’t have to wait, now is your time!
Welcome to week three of Cybersecurity Awareness Month! I was out of the office on short notice last week and didn’t get a chance to put up a leaderboard, but I will do so as soon as I get back in the office on Tuesday.
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.
Here we are in November already…fall is here, the holidays are approaching, the semester is starting to wind down and we’re done with Cybersecurity Awareness Month! Prizes have been awarded for scavenger hunts and completing training (for students). We had 17 people complete the hunt and 33 others jump into hunting down clues and learning about cybersecurity at the same time. I hope everyone enjoyed the hunt.
We have one final topic this last week of Cybersecurity Awareness Month. We’re talking about spotting phishing emails and scams and how to report them. After I explain the process to report phishing emails and where to report other types of scams, Gabby, my student worker has a “Halloween-ized” section on how to spot those “scary” phishing emails and also explains spear phishing.
