"With the ever increasing threat levels and more aggressive attacks, cyber security is a critical issue for governments, businesses and citizens across the country and around the globe," said NASCIO Executive Director, Doug Robinson. "NASCIO is pleased to support NCSA in its efforts to raise public awareness about how to avoid Internet threats while still taking advantage of the great benefits that the Internet offers."
Organized by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) -- the go-to resource for cyber security awareness and education -- National Cyber Security Awareness Month is designed to increase the public's awareness of cyber security and crime issues, so that citizens can take precautions to avoid those threats on the Internet. Public relations activities, educational programs, events and initiatives that target home users, small businesses, education audiences (K-12 and higher education), and child safety online will be featured throughout October.
