What is Cyber Security Awareness?
...
National Cyber Security Awareness Month is an annual effort to increase awareness and prevention of online security problems, spearheaded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA). The Higher Education Information Security Council (HEISC) promotes and participates in the annual campaign each October, joining forces with a range of organizations from the public and private sector to expand cybersecurity awareness on campuses across the country. HEISC offers many resources made by and for information security professionals in higher education.
- NCSAM Resource Kit and NCSAM Sample Kit
- Information Security Awareness Video & Poster Contest for Students
- Cybersecurity Awareness Resource Library
- EDUCAUSE Security Awareness Resource Page

The following NCSAM Planning Guide worksheet (PDF or Word) will help you to think about how your institution might go about implementing a plan to take advantage of National Cyber Security Awareness Month. You can also use the Annual Campus Security Awareness Campaign, which includes a printable 2016 calendar with monthly security awareness topics and 12 blog posts on the monthly topics with ready-made content for your campus communication channels.
Texas A&M University tries to create cybersecurity awareness campaigns that engage students in security education. For six years, they have created awareness campaigns featuring online cybersecurity games that entice more than 10,000 campus members to participate and that number continues to grow each year. Learn more about their planning process by reading their May 2017 guest blog: Bridging the Gap Between Students and Security: 7 Steps to Creating a Successful Cybersecurity Campaign. Indiana University offers a NCSAM Sample Kit with creative materials based on a 1950's horror theme, and outlines plans for their use that you can adapt to your institution's needs quickly. You can pick and choose which materials will best help you to increase your community's security awareness. Some of the materials are even provided in Spanish. These materials were created and used at Indiana University for National Cyber Security Awareness Month 2005. Indiana University grants permission for non-profit educational use, as long as the credit line and the copyright statement remain on the materials.
The winning posters and videos from previous Information Security Awareness Video & Poster Contests are available for use in campus security awareness campaigns during student orientation, National Cyber Security Awareness Month, Data Privacy Day, and throughout the year.
