Building a Stronger Cybersecurity Community
Cybersecurity attacks are becoming commonplace across the state and country, highlighting the need to secure our businesses, government, IT, and all infrastructures.
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a collaborative effort between government and industry to raise awareness about cybersecurity's importance and ensure that all Louisianans have the resources they need to be safer and more secure online.
Each year, we participate as a Cybersecurity Month Awareness Champion and host a to drive awareness of cyber security threats to our local municipal organizations, share best practices in cybersecurity with responsible managers at local public entities, and connect these cybersecurity managers at local public entities to Federal and State resources.
