While  National Cyber Security Awareness Month is behind us, continue to do your part and be cyber-smart well beyond October 2020.   As noted by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), “This theme encourages citizens to own their role in cybersecurity and do their part in protecting cyberspace”.  With the use of virtual platforms, and the need to work and learn remotely, follow these tips on how you can be safe and secure online.   

The New York Metropolitan Chapter partnered with several organizations including ISC², IIA, Infragard, ISACA New Jersey Chapter, ISACA Greater Hartford, and others to support two events during Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Northeast Annual Cybersecurity Summit and the New York Metropolitan Joint Cybersecurity Conference.   Both events were well attended and offered several important topics including Cloud Adoption, Business Resiliency, the Impact of COVID-19 in the work environment, DevOps and more.  I hope you had an opportunity to attend.
