The Postal Service is marking its ninth year of observing Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
The annual observation occurs in October and is sponsored by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the National Cybersecurity Alliance.
The USPS Corporate Information Security Office, or CISO, is using the theme of “Be Resilient. Be Bold. Be CyberSafe.” this year to emphasize the vital role cybersecurity plays in fulfilling the Postal Service’s mission and how individual awareness strengthens the organization’s overall security.
CISO is inviting USPS employees and contractors to go to the CyberSafe at USPS Blue page to learn more about:
• Monthly awareness campaigns, which offer resources such as one-page briefs, newsletters, Smart Cybersecurity Moment slides and other information providing cybersecurity best practices for both work and home.
• CyberSafe Guardians, a program for volunteers to serve as cybersecurity awareness ambassadors at their work facilities nationwide.
• Virtual awareness activities, which promote best practices and information on USPS cybersecurity policies.
• Report to CyberSafe, which is the process employees and contractors can use to report suspicious emails to the USPS Cybersecurity Operations Center by clicking on the “Report to CyberSafe” button in the Outlook toolbar.
• Training courses, including online lessons that provide information on a variety of cybersecurity topics.
