Cyber Security Awareness Month 2026

October 2026 will be the 23rd year recognizing Cyber Security Awareness Month, a time dedicated to promoting safe online practices and helping individuals better protect their personal and professional information. We continue to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity. We want to ensure that our campus members have the resources they need to be safer and more secure online. This can be accomplished with simple actions, these are things we should do not only during Cybersecurity Awareness Month, but every day throughout the year.

Reporting Incidents

Sometimes you can do everything right and things still happen.

• Report any suspected incidents (compromised credentials, unauthorized access, etc.) of computing systems or data to your supervisor and the HelpDesk.
• Also report lost or missing University computing equipment to the Campus Police (and to the local authorities if the incident occurred away from campus).
