The Postal Service is marking its 10th year of observing Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
This annual observation, occurring each October, is sponsored by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the National Cybersecurity Alliance.
The Postal Service’s cybersecurity efforts are led by the USPS Corporate Information Security Office, or CISO.
This year’s theme — “Stay Informed. Stay Secure. Stay CyberSafe.” — emphasizes the vital role cybersecurity plays in advancing the organization’s mission, and it stresses how each individual’s awareness strengthens the organization’s overall security.
CISO is encouraging employees and contractors to go to the CyberSafe at the USPS Blue and LiteBlue pages to learn more about:
• Monthly awareness campaigns, which offer reading materials and cybersecurity tips for work and home;
• CyberSafe Guardians, a program that enlists volunteers to spread cybersecurity awareness best practices to their co-workers;
• Virtual awareness activities that allow participants to test their cybersecurity knowledge;
• Videos featuring real-life cyberthreat scenarios that show the value of making improper decisions; and
• Training modules, including “CyberSafe Fundamentals” and “CyberSafe Mobile Device Security.”
Posters promoting various cybersecurity awareness topics can be downloaded from Blue.
The CyberSafe at USPS Blue page has more information.
