October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month; an annual campaign promoted by many organizations across North America to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity. This is the seventh year that Centennial College will be conducting our campaign to encourage community members to practice safe online habits.
Cybersecurity training and awareness continues to be at the forefront of our Cybersecurity initiative. Informed employees and students are the first and best line of defense. During the month of October, we will be providing you with tips to help you be vigilant, because practicing good online habits is a shared responsibility. We all must do our part to be cyber security smart, whether at home, in the workplace, or our communities.
Throughout the month of October, you will have opportunities to engage with IT and learn more about good cybersecurity practices both in-person and virtually. Below is a schedule of when in-person booths will be available at the Progress, Ashtonbee, and Morningside campuses. If you are on campus during the below dates and times, please stop by to learn more about cybersecurity and have a chance to win some prizes.
