October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Do your Part. #BeCyberSmart

Muncy, PA (October 22, 2020) – Intrada Technologies today announced October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. The 17th annual event was created as a collaborative effort between the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) and its public and private partners, which include the National Cyber Security Alliance.

The theme selected for the national awareness campaign is “Do your Part. #BeCyberSmart.,” encourages individuals and organizations to take proactive steps to enhance cybersecurity and protect their part of cyberspace.

“With technology use at an all-time high, the designation of October as Cybersecurity Month is timely,” stated David Steele, partner of Intrada Technologies. “Cybercriminals are becoming more and more aggressive and savvy so businesses need to be aware of all types of threats, as well as all types of security options for their company’s computers and mobile devices. October is a great time for businesses to evaluate their current security needs.”

With the use of technology steadily increasing and continuously evolving, the type of software once thought of as the best protection continues to change. The many current antivirus solutions rely on signatures to detect threats (a digital fingerprint). The latest threats do not use signatures and can slip through and enter your company’s networks and go undetected.

Steele added, “Some examples of threats we are currently seeing are weaponized documents, fileless threats, zero-day threats and, of course, continued ransomware attacks.”
