National Cyber Security Awareness month

When people think of the month of October, they often think of trick o' treating and costume parties to celebrate Halloween. They may also think of the month in which the leaves starts to change colors to beautiful reds, oranges, and yellows. However, they probably do not know that October is Homeland Security's National Cyber Security Awareness Month. The number of hackers in our world is on the rise. This includes individual hackers, criminal groups who are trying to steal identities, and small nation states who are engaged in cyber espionage. The Department of Homeland Security has already developed technology that will detect malicious activity on networks, and in future technological advancements made by DHS will be able to detect intrusion in real time.
