National Cyber Security Awareness Month Promotes Online Safety Tips

Good to use for Cyber Security Classes! To increase public awareness of cyber security, the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are promoting their annual National Cyber Security Awareness Month this October. Each week of this campaign features a different theme.
The NCSA and DHS started National Cyber Security Awareness Month in October 2004. The NCSA partners with the U.S. government (including the White House) and the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) to communicate information about computer security to the public.
The first week of National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) uses the theme of everyday computer safety with the motto “STOP. THINK. CONNECT.™” is a global, online safety awareness campaign to help all digital citizens stay safer and more secure online. According to the NCSA’s website, this message was created “by an unprecedented coalition of private companies, nonprofits and government organizations with leadership provided by the NCSA and the APWG.”
