Dear Members,

Cybersecurity Awareness Month is an important time to recognize the latest cybersecurity challenges and opportunities—particularly as the global pandemic has driven even more digital activity. It is also a good opportunity to launch or advance cybersecurity careers, “upskill” cybersecurity teams, and evaluate new enterprise security resources. ISACA Global is providing members with new guidance, resources, events, discounts, and enterprise tools as part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Keep reading to see many of the offerings below.

One standout in security guidance is Managing Security Impacts in a Multicloud Environment. This guide helps enterprises navigate the benefits and security challenges of using several cloud providers and offers a process for creating a related enterprise security strategy.
