National Cybersecurity Awareness Month

In celebration of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Loyola University Chicago’s Information Security Office (UISO) collaborated with the Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS) Loyola student chapter and the Women in Computer Science (ACM-W) student chapter to host an engaging cybersecurity awareness seminar.

The event brought together more than twenty students, faculty, and staff members to discuss how to stay safe online and recognize common digital threats. Attendees enjoyed an informative session covering practical tips for protecting personal data, identifying phishing attempts, and strengthening online security habits — all while sharing doughnuts and good conversation.

The seminar highlighted Loyola’s ongoing commitment to fostering a secure digital environment and empowering students to take an active role in safeguarding their information. It also provided an opportunity for women in technology to connect, share experiences, and explore the growing career opportunities in cybersecurity.
