Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2021

October marks the start of a new fiscal year...all things "pumpkin spice"...and Cybersecurity Awareness Month (CSAM)! Civil Air Patrol is a 2021 champion organization again this year, partnering with the National Cyber Security Alliance. All units in CAP are encouraged to host cyber security training regularly; it would make a great monthly safety briefing! With many attending school and working from home, there is no better time to educate and #BeCyberSmart to keep your devices and home network secure! CSAM resources can be found at staysafeonline.org.

One great opportunity to jump start or continue your learning is to complete the Introduction to Cybersecurity course as part of CAP’s partnership with Cisco Networking Academy (NetAcad). Click here for details. 

Civil Air Patrol is continuing to advance training and education for all members, including the cyber badge program for cadets and the national cyber academy for cadets and senior members.
