Cybersecurity Awareness Month Tip: Not all MFA is created equal. Multi-factor authentication adds an important layer of security, but not all methods provide the same protection against phishing. Passkeys and FIDO2 security keys offer phishing-resistant authentication, while traditional authenticator app codes can still be compromised through phishing attacks. Stronger cybersecurity starts with the right knowledge and skills. In recognition of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Applied Technology Academy is offering 𝟮𝟬% 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿-𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻-𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 training to help individuals and organizations strengthen their cybersecurity capabilities.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. This year, the National Cybersecurity Alliance is encouraging everyone to "𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗜𝘁 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺.” The message is simple: stronger cybersecurity often starts with small habits practiced consistently. 🔹 Use strong, unique passwords and a password manager 🔹 Turn on multifactor authentication 🔹 Recognize and report scams 🔹 Keep software and devices updated Cybersecurity doesn’t have to start with something complicated. Small actions can make accounts, devices, and organizations harder to compromise. At ATA, we believe awareness is an important first step and continued learning and practical skills help turn that awareness into stronger cybersecurity. Small actions. Stronger security. #AppliedTechnologyAcademy #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #Cybersecurity #CyberAwareness #InformationSecurity #CybersecurityTraining
