October is here. For most of us in the US cybersecurity industry, it\u2019s the month when we commemorate National Cybersecurity Awareness Month<\/a> (NCSAM). For those who are unfamiliar with this campaign, NCSAM generally aims at driving awareness for safe Internet use, whether you’re a regular consumer or top security executive. Protecting the Internet and keeping it safe is our shared responsibility.<\/p>\n

And that’s why we at Malwarebytes not only pledge to provide the best protection for our home and business customers. We also commit ourselves to fostering cybersecurity education and awareness for all<\/em>. Labs security researchers and writers are on the front lines every day, scouring the Internet for threats and reporting them, as well as how you can stay safe against them, here on the blog. We hope you continue to feel safe knowing we will always do our best to stop attacks, stomp out dangerous malware, and swat away annoying scammers.<\/p>\n

In its 15th\u00a0iteration, this year NCSAM will attempt to address current cybersecurity challenges, focusing on securing families and their homes, building a robust, cyber-aware workforce, and securing critical infrastructures. As such, themes assigned for each week of the month have been aligned according to this year\u2019s objectives.<\/p>\n

Below are the themes per week, a brief overview of each, and helpful links we recommend you, dear reader, start perusing.<\/p>\n
