It's All Fun & Games Until It's Not!

Cybersecurity Awareness Month (October) is here!

Welcome to Cybersecurity Awareness Month!

Every October, UT Health Science Center is a champion for Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a month dedicated to learning more about cybersecurity and what you and your family can do to keep everyone safe. This year, our games will be Wordles on Mondays and Thursdays, your normal Tip of the Week on Tuesdays, online games on Wednesdays, and videos on Fridays. 

Visit throughout the month as we add more fun and games!
