Cybersecurity awareness helps individuals and organizations protect sensitive information from cyber threats like hacking, phishing, and data breaches. Utilizing basic security practices can prevent costly disruptions and safeguard personal and business data. By practicing cybersecurity awareness, ETSU can reduce risks, ensure compliance with regulations, and maintain trust with the campus community.
