WestCare Recognizes Cybersecurity Awareness Month with Commitment to Online Safety and Education

WestCare is proud to announce its participation in Cybersecurity Awareness Month this October, joining a global effort led by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA) to promote safer digital practices for individuals and organizations alike.

Now in its 22nd year, Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a call to action for everyone to take responsibility for their online safety. This year’s theme, “Stay Safe Online,” emphasizes the importance of empathy, accessibility, and shared responsibility in creating a safer digital world.

Throughout October, WestCare will spotlight the Core 4 cybersecurity practices—four essential habits that can significantly reduce the risk of cyber threats:

1. Use strong passwords and a password manager
2. Turn on multifactor authentication (MFA)
3. Update your software regularly
4. Recognize and report phishing and scams

As part of the campaign, WestCare will share helpful resources across social media using the hashtag #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth.

By focusing on simple, effective steps and creating a culture of shared responsibility, WestCare is proud to contribute to the broader mission of building a more secure digital future.
