2007 Computer Security Awareness Month

Contest Information

Throughout the month of October, there will be different online activities posted here that will help you learn about various security topics such as identity theft, phishing, and home computer security.  Don't worry - they're both fun and informative activities like crossword puzzles and word match.

We will be holding a raffle at the end of each week for great prizes, and you will receive an entry for each activity you complete.   Good luck - you may even win the grand prize!
