An Insight Into Cyber Security Awareness Month

It is October. It is the National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM). And it is the time when every internet user needs to do his bit in promoting cyber security. Countries around the world observe the month of October as Cyber Security Awareness Month (CSAM). Let us try and understand the meaning and purpose of this campaign. Notably NCSAM 2017 also marks the 7th anniversary of the STOP. THINK. CONNECT. campaign.

What is Cyber Security Awareness Month?

14 years ago, the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) took an initiative to launch NCSAM on October 01. The basic aim of this awareness programme is to raise the awareness about cyber security. NCSAM also helps people understand about the importance of cyber security. The NCSAM tries increasing the knowledge of individuals and private sectors about the importance of staying secure in the online world.

Of course! We cannot disagree with one thing that the internet is an intimate part of our lives. Every industry needs the internet in some way or the other. Therefore, it is important to make sure that while using the net we protect ourselves. We also need to secure all our sensitive data from external online threats. Hence, this programme is one of the best ways to ensure that everyone has the proper tools to stay secure online.

Cyber Security Awareness Month To Kick Off With A Global Launch

Additionally, CSAM will start with a global launch on October 3. The new initiative will start at the Organization of American States’ headquarters in Washington, D.C. Furthermore, the event will showcase the details on CSAM’s international adoption. You can also get to know on the following points during the CSAM event:

• What steps will help to keep all global digital citizens safer and more secure online
• How can governments and the private sector cooperate on online safety efforts
• Plus points of a globally secure internet
