Consolidated Communications Joins the National Cybersecurity Alliance in Raising Awareness
October in National Cybersecurity Awareness Month
MATTOON, Ill. — Consolidated Communications is joining the National Cybersecurity Alliance in a month-long effort to help consumers and businesses avoid online scams, phishing, ransomware, and more. Each October, the National Cybersecurity Council teams up with members of the technology community to raise people’s awareness of good online safety practices. This year especially, as our online lives have taken on even greater importance in staying connected to our work, school, and communities, Consolidated reminds consumers and businesses to stay vigilant. Consolidated Communications has accessible educational materials, easy-to-implement tips, and additional resources available on consolidated.com/staysafeonline to help protect everything people connect. Consolidated also offers cybersecurity assessments and webinars for businesses.
“At Consolidated, we have a team of experienced professionals working to keep our networks safe each day,” said Aaron Reason, director of network security for Consolidated Communications. “But even with all our safety protocols, every user is just two network jumps from danger. Everyone has a crucial role in keeping their information safe, from learning to recognize a phishing email, to strengthening passwords and using two-factor authentication everywhere it’s available.”
