2025 Cybersecurity Month

• Division of Banks
• Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation

Massachusetts has a vibrant cybersecurity ecosystem that makes the Commonwealth a national cybersecurity leader and enables our citizens and economy to thrive in the face of growing cyber threats.

Building a Cyber Strong America encompasses the importance and value of cybersecurity in everyday life. We can all be cybersecurity heroes by following best practices such as using strong passwords, turning on multifactor authentication, recognizing and reporting phishing, and routinely updating software. By doing so, we protect ourselves and our data from hackers and cybercriminals.

Each week during October, the Division of Banks will be posting information and tip sheets on cybersecurity best practices
