This year's campaign theme—“Secure Our World”—demonstrates that everyone is responsible for their own online behavior. This October will focus on the “people” part of cybersecurity, providing information and resources to help educate the public and ensure all individuals and organizations make smart decisions whether on the job, at home, or at school—now and in the future. The included resources are intended for you to use to educate, engage and encourage your peers to adopt cyber smart practices.
Technical safeguards can’t always protect us, so it’s important to know our role in keeping safe.

Watch this video, “60 Seconds to Better Security: What is Spoofing?”.

Watch this video, “Notes from an Expert: Business Email Compromise.” You will hear from a Proofpoint Threat Research expert in this video on the Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks, that are often associated with a spoofed email and attempts to trick employees, partners or customers into transferring money or giving up sensitive data.
Watch this video, “Very Attacked Persons: Protecting Accounts.” It’s an interesting two minutes on how and why attackers target certain individuals because of their access to privileged data or network access, and how to recognize and understand the risks associated account compromise.
