For the entire month of October, TechSoup and our donor partners participated in National Cyber Security Awareness Month (also known as NCSAM). We had blog posts, events, resources, and more to help your organization stay secure online.

We also had a weekly security quiz with prizes courtesy of Symantec! We did a random drawing weekly for a $100 Amazon gift card and a drawing at the end of the participants who answered all four quizzes correctly for a $500 Amazon gift card.

And the Winners Are …

Todd Elliot, the library director of the Portsmouth Public Library in Portsmouth, Virginia, won the Week 1 quiz on malware, viruses, and adware.
Robin Jackson, executive director of Ovar'coming Together in Indianapolis, Indiana, won Week 2's quiz on the best defense for your technology.
Walter Kaplan, director of the Northern Virginia Emergency Response System (NVERS) in Fairfax, Virginia, won Week 3's phishing quiz.
Scott Watkins, bookkeeper at Big Bend Natural History Association in Big Bend National Park, Texas, won the Week 4 quiz on social engineering.

And the Grand Prize Winner Is …

Jason Juntunen, technology coordinator from United Cerebral Palsy of Central Minnesota in Saint Cloud, Minnesota, answered all four quizzes correctly and won a $500 gift card from Amazon.

Congratulations to all of our winners! Thank you to everybody who participated in our Weekly Security Quiz, and a special thanks goes out to Symantec for generously sponsoring the prizes.

Is this supposed to be active now? All I see is a page with "Next," I click that and it says "Thank You!" with 100% at the bottom.

Hi Jmoening, thanks for letting us know! There appears to be a glitch with the survey host. We're investigating the issue and will update soon.

The link to read the Privacy Policy (last page of the sweepstakes terms and conditions) doesn't work. That's kind of important - especially when the whole topic is about security.

Is the Week 4 quiz supposed to be the same as the Week 3 quiz?

Hi bonjon9, thanks for pointing that out. I will follow up with Symantec -- our sponsor -- and fix the link. We agree -- privacy is important!

Hi Delawarehumane, we accidentally posted the wrong information for last week's quiz answer. It is fixed now and the link will take you to the correct quiz. Sorry for that error!
