October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) and Mitto is proud to work with the National Cyber Security Alliance to endorse and educate our users on the shared responsibility of cyber security. Most directly, we continue to educate our users about password security, and offer them tools such as two-factor authentication (through their cell phones) to help add extra layers of protection to their sensitive information.

“National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM), conducted every October since 2001, is a national public awareness campaign to encourage everyone to protect their computers and our nation’s critical cyber infrastructure.” - National Cyber Security Alliance

At Mitto, we build many layers security into our service, but we also recognize that educating people about security is important for everyone. The more you know about cyber security and how to protect yourself, the better off everyone is. As such, we offer security tips through our blog posts and Twitter messages. We want you to use Mitto because it’s a safe and secure way to remember your passwords, but we also want you to know why password security is important, and what behaviors are security risks.

Cyber Security is a 365 day a year priority at Mitto, and it should be for you too. If you haven’t yet changed some of your bad password habits, we challenge you to take the first steps this month.
