Which, if you’ve been on social media at all the past 13 days or read any cybersecurity news website, you surely know already.  As it does every year, I saw Cybersecurity Awareness Month kick off with a lot of snark and memes of people joking about what it even means to be “aware” of cybersecurity and why we even have this month at all.
