Happy National Cybersecurity Awareness Month!

October, recognized as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, highlights the importance of security awareness, particularly emphasizing the potential dangers such as phishing and hacking, which can lead to compromised personal and financial information. At PagerDuty, the Security Team strives to integrate security seamlessly into everyday practices by being approachable, encouraging reporting of potential threats, and fostering a culture of security without assigning blame for mistakes. They engage employees through initiatives like the annual Cybersecurity Awareness Game and regular security scenario presentations at company meetings. The company also provides open-source security training, offering practical tips on issues such as identifying phishing attempts, securing office equipment, and using multi-factor authentication. By promoting security as a collective responsibility, PagerDuty encourages constant vigilance beyond just the designated awareness month, recommending that other organizations adopt a similar approach.
