October has been declared the National Cyber Security Awareness Month. During this month, all sorts of activities take place to make cyberspace a safe, secure and resilient environment. 

IT security company Digital Defense, Inc. has released an infographic to help organizations and their employees in the fight against cybercrime.

On average, 3,618 cyberattacks are reported each year and 35% of them involve a negligent employee. Since employees are often the weakest link in corporate information security, it’s important for organizations to provide security awareness training.

Digital Defense, in collaboration with an Emmy award winning comedy sketch writer, has launched a security awareness education program called SecureED.

SecureED focuses on password development and security, social media dangers, acceptable use of computer systems, physical security and removable media, mobile device security, the safe use of cloud services, and more.
