Welcome to Cyber Security Awareness Month
Department / Organization: IT
Cybersecurity Awareness Month is here, and it’s time to power up your defenses against the tricks of social engineering!
Social engineering is one of the most common ways cyber villains break into computer networks to cause havoc and destruction.
They rely on being able to convince users like you to click a link or send them your passwords and will try all sorts of tricks to do it! This week we will focus on the following: • The damage caused by social engineering • Common attack methods • Tactics scammers use to gain access to systems and devices
Be sure to visit the Information Security Website for a deeper dive into Social Engineering. Test your Information Security knowledge at our in-person physical security and social engineering demo from 11am-1pm on October 15th at Maple Plaza or at our on-line trivia event on October 21st.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to security@mines.edu
Thanks, and look for more cybersecurity content all this month!
