October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month

Cyber Security: Make it a Habit

Did you know?

While cyber security is as complex as the Internet itself, you can use the information on this site to access basic but effective information to get you started making cyber security a habit. For more information, visit our Computer Data Protection Tips.

Cyber security is a responsibility of everyone who uses the Internet. Practicing basic cyber security protects you and your computer when you’re online and also protects others. Increased awareness on everyone’s part about cyber security will lower our nation’s vulnerabilities on the Internet and decrease our collective risk resulting from compromised personal information, identity theft, computer viruses and other threats.

To remind us of this important issue, October has been designated as National Cyber Security Awareness Month by the National Cyber Security Division of Homeland Security. The University of Northern Colorado has joined the effort in encouraging students and staff to make cyber security a habit.

SafeGuard Your Digital Data

Protecting private data and intellectual property is a key to success. One mistake and you could lose more than just your data. SafeGuard Encryption products are powerful tools to protect confidential information against attacks or loss, and help organizations comply with the growing number of privacy laws – many that apply to the University of Northern Colorado.
If you store any PII data or other confidential information, you should use the SafeGuard products to protect this data.
