As many of you know, October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) and led by the folks at the National Cyber Security Alliance. I wanted to share with you many of the great things they are doing starting next week.

1. They created pre-written social media status updates for every day in October. You can find them at: http://www.staysafeonline.org/ncsam/get-involved/social-media
2. They have Twitter Chats each week throughout the month of October. Each chat is based on the different weekly themes of NCSAM (Week 1: STOP. THINK. CONNECT.; Week 2: Law Enforcement; Week 3: Businesses; Week 4: Cybersecurity Education) Chats will always be held on Thursdays at 3 p.m. ET. You can find a schedule of chats here: http://www.stopthinkconnect.org/get-involved/twitter-chats.
