It�s Cybersecurity Awareness Month

This month is the Department of Homeland Security�s sixth annual National Cybersecurity Awareness Month and the theme is �Our Shared Responsibility.�

The point of the �theme� is �to reinforce the message that all computer users, not just industry and government, have a responsibility to practice good �cyber hygiene� and to protect themselves and their families at home, at work and at school.�

The DHS page is full of really good basic computer security information and suggestions.

If you�re reading this, you are surely aware of at least one anti-virus company (Sunbelt) and the need for anti-malware protection. That�s a really big part of �our shared responsibility.� If you know somebody who is new to the Internet, you might pass along the link to the DHS Cyber Security Month page and tell them it�s a great place to start learning about protecting themselves.
