October isn’t just a month for free candy, the return of Michael Myers and pumpkin spice lattes, it’s also National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM)! Run by the National Cyber Security Alliance & the U.S. Department of Homeland Security since 2004, NCSAM is an annual effort to educate the general public on cybersecurity topics, making the internet safer for everyone. It’s also a month devoted to addressing the growing cybersecurity skills gap.
