Cyber Security Awareness Month
October has been designated by the Federal Government as Cyber Security Awareness Month. City employees handle a great deal of sensitive and private data in order to provide services to the public. The City of New York has a formal information security program that establishes policies and standards; audits agencies for compliance; provides identity management services; and protects the City's networks and hosts from external and Internet threats. This program is administered by the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunication. You can read more at http://cityshare.nycnet/infosec and http://www.nyc.gov/infosec
Every City employee should be familiar with and comply with the "User Responsibilities Policy." This policy shows some of the ways that you, as a user of City information systems, can help to uphold the public trust in our ability to protect private data. There are also some things that every home computer user should be aware of in order to protect your own personal data.
The National Cyber Security Alliance has provided a list of 14 practical tips for staying safe online. Please take a moment to visit Cityshare, the City's intranet, and review this list: http://cityshare.nycnet/html/cityshare/downloads/cyber_security_home_users.pdf
