For more than two decades, Cybersecurity Awareness Month has been dedicated to teaching everyone how to stay safe and secure online. It was created as a collaborative effort between government and industry to ensure every American has the resources they need to stay safer and more secure online. It was launched by the National Cybersecurity Alliance and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in October 2004 as a broad effort to help all Americans stay safer and more secure online.
Throughout October we have been spotlighting cybersecurity in healthcare. We continue with healthcare cybersecurity reports and surveys.
