At the U.S. Department of State, cybersecurity is a collaborative effort between the Bureau of Diplomatic Technology (DT) and the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS). But in practice, cybersecurity is everyone's responsibility. In this video, State Department cyber professionals discuss the roles of different teams across the Department in protecting our digital assets to keep sensitive information secure and ensure a safer environment for diplomacy worldwide. As we celebrate Cybersecurity Awareness Month this October, remember that every action we take toward improving our cybersecurity—no matter how small—makes a difference. Let’s work together to #SecureOurWorld! #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #DiplomaticTech #StateDepartment #DiplomaticSecurity #CyberSecurity #DigitalDiplomacy #CISO #TechDiplomacy

October is #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth! In an increasingly digital world, it’s important to keep cybersecurity top-of-mind. Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing tips to help you stay safe online. First tip: Turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA)! MFA provides our accounts extra security by confirming our identities when logging in through things like a fingerprint or a code texted to a phone or one generated by an authenticator app. Even when passwords become compromised, unauthorized users will be unable to meet the second step requirement and will not be able to access our accounts.
