The Postal Service is marking its 11th year of observing Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
This annual observation, which takes place each October, is sponsored by the National Cybersecurity Alliance and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
The Postal Service’s cybersecurity efforts are led by the USPS Corporate Information Security Office, or CISO.
This year’s theme — “Stay Vigilant. Stay Strong. Stay CyberSafe.”— emphasizes cybersecurity as everyone’s responsibility.
CISO is encouraging employees and contractors to go to the CyberSafe at USPS Blue and LiteBlue pages to learn more about:
• Monthly awareness campaigns, which provide practical cybersecurity tips for work and home;
• CyberSafe Guardians, a program that enlists volunteers to share cybersecurity awareness best practices with their co-workers;
• Virtual awareness activities that allow participants to test their cybersecurity knowledge; and
• Videos that show real-life cyberthreat scenarios.
Cybersecurity awareness posters can be downloaded from Blue.
