Each October, York University joins organizations from across the globe to recognize Cybersecurity Awareness Month, an opportunity to raise awareness about digital threats and the importance of online safety. Cybersecurity is not just about technology; it's about the people who use use it and their habits. The way we spot phishing attempts, choose strong & unique passwords for our accounts, and keep our devices and software up to date all play a vital role in keeping the York community safe.

This month, the Information Security team will launch a month-long cybersecurity awareness campaign designed to empower everyone at York with the tools and knowledge to strengthen their personal online security. Each week will spotlight a new theme, featuring curated content on key topics and practical resources to help build stronger digital habits.
