OPLIN 4Cast #668: Cyberattacks are escalating, but so is cybersecurity
vigilance
October 16th, 2019

[image: Cubed background in different sizes and blue colors aligning to a

Reserve passed the legislature and headed to Governor DeWine for his
signature. The Cyber Reserve will consist of cybersecurity professionals
serving in a volunteer force to respond to cyber attacks against state and
local governments, and will work locally to help educate businesses and
citizens and secure them from attacks. Just in time for *National
Cybersecurity Awareness Month*. Check out these stories and resources for
NCSAM, and consider ways that your library can help raise awareness in your
community.

   a comprehensive guide to make it easy for you and your organization,

   - Get Involved in National Cybersecurity Awareness Month
   <https://staysafeonline.org/ncsam/get-involved/> [*Stay Safe Online*]
   "Whether you have a minute, an hour or a day – or all month long – check
   out ways you can participate and support NCSAM on social media, at home, at
   work or school and in the community."
   - Think Safety When Using Social Media
   <https://www.forbes.com/sites/petersuciu/2019/10/09/think-safety-when-using-social-media/>
   [*Forbes*] "The theme of NCSAM this year is to 'Own IT. Secure IT.
   Protect IT,' and part of that is to make sure that we update the privacy
   settings on social media. All too often these settings on Facebook,
   Instagram and Twitter have a default that favors the social media companies
   rather than the users."
