Almost every aspect of our lives now involves the internet. Today, every citizen should know how to secure their information.<\/p>\n<p>This annual event is the time to raise public awareness and provide folks with resources they need for their own protection. The stakes are high: in the previous year, data breaches left <a href=\"http:\/\/www.idtheftcenter.org\/ITRC-Surveys-Studies\/2015databreaches.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">164.4 million<\/a> people\u2019s social security information at risk. Corporate attacks are costing businesses between <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/stevemorgan\/2015\/10\/16\/the-business-of-cybersecurity-2015-market-size-cyber-crime-employment-and-industry-statistics\/2\/#1dddf45b4e68\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$400-$500 billion dollars<\/a> every year. And hacking attempts show no signs of slowing.<\/p>\n<p>In addressing those pressing security issues, National Cyber Security Awareness Month has a distinct theme for each week. These specific conversations better allow public and private actors to empower citizens with the necessary knowledge and tools needed to create change.<\/p>\n<h2>Tools to Create Change<\/h2>\n<p>The first theme is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stopthinkconnect.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>STOP. THINK. CONNECT.<\/em><\/a>, lasting from October 3<sup>rd<\/sup> to the 7<sup>th<\/sup>. This slogan represents a security framework for citizens to protect themselves. For example, how can someone ensure cybercriminals don\u2019t access their online banking account? What steps can be taken to make sure fitness-tracking data and <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/mark-zuckerberg-hack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media profiles<\/a> remain in the right hands? STOP and make sure you\u2019re leveraging <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/android-linux-bug-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">every security measure you can<\/a>. THINK about the possible consequences of online actions. Only then, you can CONNECT to the Internet safely. Learn more by joining the conversation with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/McAfee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@McAfee<\/a>, from October 3<sup>rd<\/sup> to 7<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53019\" src=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Unknown-1.png\" alt=\"unknown\" width=\"587\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Unknown-1.png 988w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Unknown-1-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Unknown-1-768x375.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The second week\u2019s spotlight is on <em>workplace security<\/em>. Often, cybersecurity breaches at businesses happen through an employee. Employees should know how to spot <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/milwaukee-bucks-data-breach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fake emails<\/a> from real communications. For example, be diligent in identifying a known sender\u2019s address and the correct URL. Likewise, employees should know that not every USB-drive is safe for transferring proprietary data. This week will offer more guidance in related areas, which can also improve employees\u2019 security skills at work.<\/p>\n<p>From October 17<sup>th<\/sup> to the 21<sup>st<\/sup>, the focus shifts toward <em>cybercrime<\/em>. A range of motivations push individuals to use technology to harm others. These motivations can include financial gain, personal revenge, and extreme ideology. In modern society, it\u2019s important to understand the motivations behind attackers. When certain <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/the-security-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online scams<\/a> request to install a file on your computer, that should be a red flag. Reducing one\u2019s digital footprint via private social media settings increases protection. During this week, more information will be presented on the full spectrum of cybercrime from <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/social-media-harassment-threat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cyberbullying<\/a> to database breaches.<\/p>\n<p>In week four, we\u2019ll take a look at our <em>connected future<\/em>. New technologies are on the horizon, such as the Internet of Things, connected cities, and innovations in healthcare. Our country will soon be connected in increasingly fundamental ways, and cybercriminals <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/virtual-reality-facebook-photo-hack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">may see that as an opportunity<\/a>. Individuals should research new products before purchasing and ensure services are from a trustworthy source. Tune in from October 24<sup>th<\/sup> to 28<sup>th<\/sup> to discover how we\u2019ll work together to secure our future.<\/p>\n<p>The last week of October will focus on <em>critical infrastructure<\/em>. These days, the internet is intertwined with basic societal necessities, such as electricity and transportation. Government and private organizations will need to secure these systems. But the actions of every citizen can help. This final week will address the roles that the public can play in securing our nation\u2019s infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s all make the most of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/national-cyber-security-awareness-month\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Cyber Security Awareness Month<\/a> by joining the conversation.
