October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Throughout October, we are joining the Food and Agriculture-Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Food and Ag-ISAC) to celebrate Cybersecurity Awareness Month.

Since 2004, Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a time dedicated for the public and private sectors to work together to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity. Over the years it has grown into a collaborative effort between government and industry to enhance cybersecurity awareness, encourage actions by the public to reduce online risk, and generate discussion on cyber threats on a national and global scale.

The Food and Ag-ISAC is hosting free webinars open to all in the industry. Check out each of the webinars below and register today!
