UMGC Global Media Center Part Three UMGC Series: Ensuring a Safe and Secure Online Presence

University of Maryland Global Campus is observing National Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2019 with a three-part video series featuring UMGC cyber faculty, students and recent alumni, who share their tips and insights to help you understand and secure your digital profile at home and at work.

Cyberattacks on e-commerce systems often result in financial and reputational harm as well as compromised personal and corporate data. In Part Three of our series, Patrick O'Guinn, Sr. program chair of Digital Forensics & Cyber Investigations at UMGC, and Elena Healing, a recent graduate of the UMGC Cybersecurity Management and Policy program, discuss how to enhance security when transacting business online.

Celebrated every October, National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) is a collaborative effort between government and industry to both raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity and ensure that all Americans have the resources they need to be safer and more secure online.

The overarching NCSAM message for 2019—Own IT. Secure IT. Protect IT.—focuses on three specific areas—citizen privacy, consumer devices, and e-commerce security. These videos created by our faculty, student and alumni participants highlight the 2019 NASCAM themes—personal accountability and the importance of taking proactive steps to enhance cybersecurity at home and in the workplace.
