Every year since 2003, October has been recognized as National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) in the US, aiming to raise awareness about the importance of cyber security.
On this year's occasion, marking the 15th year since the annual initiative first began, the US Center for Internet Security issued a relevant infographic emphasizing on the four key messages, tied together by one overarching theme:"Cybersecurity is our shared responsibility and we all must work together to improve our Nation's cybersecurity,"
Key messages
- Strengthen the Nation's cyber security ecosystem
- Cyber security is a cross-cutting, cross-sector challenge, so we must tackle it together
- Increase and strengthen the cyber security workforce across all sectors
- Secure critical infrastructure from cyber threats.
NCSAM 2018 is a collaborative effort between government and industry to ensure every American has the resources they need to stay safer and more secure online, while increasing the resiliency of the Nation during cyber-threats. DHS is the federal, national lead for NCSAM.
