Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Cybersecurity Awareness Month

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a nationwide campaign dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of online safety. In today’s connected world, protecting your personal information has never been more important. The Palm Beach County Library System is joining the effort by encouraging everyone to take small, proactive steps that can make a big difference. Creating strong passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication and updating your devices regularly are some of the simplest and most effective ways to stay secure. It’s also important to recognize and avoid phishing scams, which often appear as suspicious emails or texts and to back up your important files so they’re not lost if something goes wrong.

The Library System offers resources to help you strengthen your digital security, whether you’re looking for workshops, helpful guides or trusted online learning tools. Throughout October, you can find activities and events in Happenings that focus on building safe and smart technology habits. From learning how to spot online scams to better protecting your digital devices, these programs will provide practical tips for all ages. Take time this month to explore the Library’s offerings and make cybersecurity a regular part of your everyday routine.
