Once again, we find ourselves in October, and for us, it's also known as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month! (NCSAM) It's a time when we all work together to help increase public awareness of cybersecurity and its importance to everyone. This year's theme is 'See Yourself in Cyber,' which is about recognizing the role that you play in cybersecurity for yourself and the people around you. If you are not practicing good cybersecurity habits, not only are you endangering yourself, but you could also be endangering many others. A hacker can use a breach in your cybersecurity to break into whatever network you are connected to, which gives them an opening (called a foothold) to attack anyone else on that network. This problem becomes even worse when it is a business network that is storing the private data of any number of customers who trusted that business to keep their data safe or even the business's info itself that could ruin the company if all their data gets stolen. We always say your network is only as strong as the weakest link.
