We create a digital trail with every click, share, send and post we make. Being connected is a part of our everyday lives now. Sometimes we may even feel that we can’t function without a certain app or piece of technology. Raise your hand if that app is your maps/navigation! 🙋 As we gravitate towards a world that is more focused on technology it is important that we protect and maintain our digital profile.
The pillars within this year's National Cybersecurity Awareness Month are Own IT., Secure IT. and Protect IT.

Cybersecurity may sound like something that only IT groups have to worry about, but it's not. The vast majority of cybersecurity “hacks” can be traced back to an individual making a mistake like clicking on a bad hyperlink or opening an attachment in a bad email.
As you may already know, this month is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM). So we thought it would be important to focus on who these criminals are targeting and how large their impact can be.
