#BeCyberSmart: Share cybersecurity tips and resources with the Rutgers community
Cybersecurity Awareness Month was launched by the National Cybersecurity Alliance and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in October 2004 to ensure Americans have the resources to be more secure online. Each year, a variety of institutions put the spotlight on how to avoid cyber threats.

2022’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month theme is “See Yourself in Cyber.” Protect yourself and the Rutgers community by referencing and sharing the digital resources, social media posts, and flyers in our cybersecurity toolkit.
Stay secure by practicing cyber hygiene
A look into the National Cybersecurity Alliance 2022 Report
Every October, the National Cybersecurity Alliance releases a report to examine key behaviors, attitudes, and trends surrounding cybersecurity among individuals. The National Cybersecurity Alliance's 2022 Attitudes and Behaviors Report states that 88% of participants connect to the internet on a daily basis and that 27% of Millennials and 34% of Gen Zers have lost their money or data due to harmful cyber activity.

“This report puts a spotlight on the real need for cybersecurity education,” said Guy J. Albertini, Rutgers’ Associate Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer. “Cybersecurity Awareness Month gives us the opportunity to spread the word on the importance of cybersecurity to protect both your personal information and Rutgers data.”
