Attivo Networks announced its commitment to Cybersecurity Awareness Month, held annually in October, by signing up as a 2021 Champion and joining a growing global effort to promote online safety and privacy awareness. 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 ‘Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart.’

 “Attivo Networks is committed to advancing the goals of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, especially as online attacks and criminal activity continue to increase,” said Carolyn Crandall, chief security advocate at Attivo Networks. “While people should learn how to protect themselves online, organizations can also benefit from raising their cybersecurity awareness beyond educating employees. This includes taking proactive steps to secure their enterprise by protecting credentials and the systems that manage them.”

More than ever before, technology plays a part in almost everything we do. People have woven connected devices into society as an integral part of how they communicate and access services essential to their well-being. Despite these great advances in technology and the conveniences this provides, recent events have shown us how quickly cybercriminals and adversaries can disrupt our lives and businesses when they use technology to do harm. Cybersecurity Awareness Month aims to shed light on these security vulnerabilities while offering actionable guidance surrounding behaviors anyone can take to protect themselves and their organizations. Everyone has a responsibility to do their part in securing our interconnected world.
