October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month

As we embark on a new fiscal year, the Smithsonian continues to expand its reliance on technology, data, and online resources to enable the mission and support our strategic goals. As cyber threats increasingly put these critical resources at risk, it is essential that we all do our part to safeguard the digital collections, research data, donor information, systems, and other resources entrusted to us. Online security graphic showing lock against a background of computer connections

In support of National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM), OCIO is offering events, activities, and information throughout October to assist us all in understanding the online threats that we face and ways that we can protect both our Institution and ourselves. I encourage everyone to take the opportunity to participate in these activities and to remain vigilant as you perform your work.
