October 01, 2024 — Integrity Technology Solutions today announced its commitment to cybersecurity education by participating in the 20th Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
Founded in 2004, Cybersecurity Awareness Month, held each October, is the world’s foremost initiative aimed at promoting cybersecurity awareness and best practices.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a collaborative effort among businesses, government agencies, colleges and universities, associations, nonprofit organizations, tribal communities, and individuals committed to educating others about online safety.
"Cybersecurity Awareness Month serves as a great reminder to us that we all play a role in protecting sensitive information," said Chad Geiser, chief revenue officer for Integrity Technology Solutions.
From mobile to connected home devices, technology is deeply intertwined in our lives.
Emerging technologies have many great benefits for society but with those new technologies come new opportunities for bad actors to disrupt our online activities at home, school, or work.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month aims to highlight some of the emerging challenges that exist in the world of cybersecurity today and provide straightforward, actionable guidance that anyone can follow to create a safe and secure digital world for themselves and their loved ones.
The theme of Cybersecurity Awareness Month is Secure Our World, which encourages all of us to take four easy steps each day to ensure our online safety:
Understand the benefits of using a password manager and dispelling existing myths around password manager security and ease of use.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month continues to build momentum and impact with the goal of providing everyone with the information they need to stay safe and more secure online.
Integrity is proud to support this critically important online safety awareness and education initiative, led by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the National Cybersecurity Alliance.
