October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM), and at Carnegie Mellon University we’re focusing on simple, practical steps you can take to protect yourself and our community online. Throughout the month, we’ll cover key topics like the importance of multi-factor authentication (MFA), building stronger passwords, recognizing and reporting phishing attempts, and keeping your devices secure with regular updates. Each theme is designed to help you better understand common risks and adopt habits that make a big difference in staying safe in today’s digital world.
