TROY, Mich., Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Computer Technologies, Inc. (cti-mi.com) today announced that it has signed on as Champion for Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2022. Founded in 2004, Cybersecurity Awareness Month, held each October, is the world's foremost initiative aimed at promoting cybersecurity awareness and best practices. The Cybersecurity Awareness Month Champions Program is a collaborative effort among businesses, government agencies, colleges and universities, associations, nonprofit organizations and individuals committed to the Cybersecurity Awareness Month theme of 'It's easy to stay safe online.'
"It has been encouraging to see the evolution of cyber security awareness within businesses. Organizations are becoming more proactive by going back to the basics and adopting security measures and solutions to better defend themselves. Unfortunately, we continue to see the devastating impact major vulnerabilities and the subsequent cybersecurity attacks have had on organizations, which is why we must continue the fight and stay aware and educated," said Kim Nielsen, Founder & CEO of Computer Technologies, Inc. "We're excited to be National Cybersecurity Alliance member and Champion of Cyber Security Awareness month again this year. We are committed to raising cybersecurity awareness and helping our clients and their families be more prepared against future attacks."
From mobile to connected home devices, technology is becoming more intertwined with our lives every day. And while the evolution of technology is moving at the speed of sound, cybercriminals are working just as hard to find ways to compromise technology and disrupt personal and business life. Cybersecurity Awareness Month aims to highlight some of the emerging challenges that exist in the world of cybersecurity today and provide straightforward actionable guidance that anyone can follow to create a safe and secure digital world for themselves and their loved ones.
This year, the Cybersecurity Awareness Month's main focal areas revolve around four key fundamental cybersecurity best practices:
- Recognizing and reporting phishing – still one of the primary threat actions used by cybercriminals today.
- Understanding the benefits of using a password manager and dispelling existing myths around password manager security and ease of use.
- Enabling multi-factor authentication on personal devices and business networks.
- Installing updates on a regular basis and turning on automated updates.
Now in its 19th year, Cybersecurity Awareness Month continues to build momentum and impact with the goal of providing everyone with the information they need to stay safer and more secure online. Computer Technologies, Inc. is proud to support this far-reaching online safety awareness and education initiative which is co-led by the National Cyber Security Alliance and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
