October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month
National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, celebrated every October, is a collaborative effort between government and industry to ensure that individually and collectively we have the resources needed to stay safe and secure online. The City recognizes the importance in identifying, responding to and protecting against cyber threats that may significantly impact our individual and collective security and privacy.
Week 1: If You Connect It, Protect It
Cybersecurity Awareness Month is the perfect time to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity and to ensure that all Fort Collins community members have the information they need to be safer and more secure online.
This week’s highlight: Make your passwords long and strong.
Week 2: Securing Devices at Home & Work
Tip of the Week: Public Wi-Fi networks are not secure – limit what you do on public WiFi and avoid logging in to key accounts like email and financial services.
Week 3: The Future of Connected Devices
These #BeCyberSmart tips will help you Keep Tabs on Your Apps: 1) Delete apps you don’t need or no longer use. 2) Review app permissions. Limit how much data you share with the app. 3) Only download apps from trusted sources.
Week 4: Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart
The City takes cybersecurity seriously. Our approach to cybersecurity is called “defense-in-depth” which means that we implement and continually improve security protocols and procedures at multiple levels throughout the IT infrastructure.
