Cybersecurity Awareness Month – observed every October – was created as a collaborative effort between government and industry to ensure every American has the resources to stay safer and more secure online.

Georgetown University has been a champion of Cybersecurity Awareness Month for over five years, and as always, our goal is to keep our entire community safe on campus, at home, and everywhere we teach, work and learn online.
