Frontline Supports
Cybersecurity Awareness Month
[Alpharetta, GA] October 1, 2022 — Frontline Technology today announced that it has signed on as Champion for Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2022. Founded in 2004, Cybersecurity Awareness Month, held each October, is the world’s foremost initiative aimed at promoting cybersecurity awareness and best practices. The Cybersecurity Awareness Month Champions Program is a collaborative effort among businesses, government agencies, colleges and universities, associations, nonprofit organizations, and individuals committed to the Cybersecurity Awareness Month theme:
It’s easy to stay safe online.
From mobile to connected home devices, technology is becoming more intertwined with our lives every day. And while the evolution of technology is moving at the speed of sound, cybercriminals are working just as hard to find ways to compromise technology and disrupt personal and business life. 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.
This year, the Cybersecurity Awareness Month’s main focal areas revolve around four key fundamental cybersecurity best practices:
- Phishing. Recognizing and reporting phishing. Phishing is still one of the primary threat actions used by cybercriminals today. Learn more from our blog, Phishing Scheme Red Flags.
- Password managers. Understanding the benefits of using a password manager and dispelling existing myths around password manager security and ease of use. For a bit on the ideal password and qualities you should seek in a password manager, check out Password Management Made Easy.
- Multifactor Authentication (MFA). Enabling MFA on personal devices and business networks.
- Updates. Installing updates on a regular basis and turning on automated updates. In amongst all the feature updates, you will often find patches. These are free security updates designed to patch security gaps within your system. Cybercriminals use vulnerability scanners to check for vulnerabilities quickly after a gap is made public. Protect yourself by installing updates regularly—or in some cases automatically!
Now in its 19th year, Cybersecurity Awareness Month continues to build momentum and impact with the ultimate goal of providing everyone with the information they need to stay safer and more secure online. Frontline Technology is proud to support this far-reaching online safety awareness and education initiative which is co-led by the National Cyber Security Alliance and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
