Even though we actively work to keep our online lives safe and secure all year long, October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, so it’s the perfect time to highlight these practices and remain vigilant.
Celebrating Cyber Safety in October
Here’s what we’ve planned this month to help you learn how to stay safe while connected online:

Employee Phishing Campaign Continues this Month
UCSC uses simu
lated phishing campaigns to educate the campus on up-to-date phishing email tactics. Think of these simulated phishing emails as a learning opportunity - we want you to react as you normally would if you received a real phish. For more information, visit the Employee Phishing Campaign web page.
