Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2026
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month! In partnership with the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), this year's national theme is "Securing the Next 250."
At CSULB, we'll build on that theme through our ongoing "We Can DoIT Together" campaign, empowering our campus community to make cybersecurity a shared responsibility.
Join us throughout October for webinars, engaging activities, and cybersecurity awareness events designed to help keep our campus community safe. Together, we can strengthen our security-conscious culture at The Beach because We Can DoIT Together!
Participate in Cybersecurity Activities
Numerous CSU campuses have organized a series of events featuring guest speakers, fairs, and webinars aimed at enhancing the CSU community’s understanding of cybersecurity risks and promoting safer online practices. We encourage you to participate in the month-long program of interactive, engaging, and informative activities designed to elevate your cybersecurity knowledge and skills. Below is a list of webinars that will be hosted by CSULB during October.
