For the last few years, October has been "Security Awareness Month", with various organizations using it to promote security awareness. We have done a few "themed" diaries around security awareness in past years, but for the most part, there isn't that much new to say for our core audience. Security awareness is however still a big issue for the rest of humanity, and if you are looking for advice to help friends and family become more security-aware, then the SANS Securing the Human project has a nice newsletter for you.

This month's "Ouch!" newsletter focuses on "Helping Others Secure Themselves". You can find a copy of it, as well as past newsletters, here: https://securingthehuman.sans.org/resources/newsletters/ouch/2017
