National Cyber Security Awareness Month 2019: What's Your Role?

Written by Amy Mersch | 9/27/19 1:02 PM

Observed each October, National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) is a collaborative effort between government and industry to raise awareness about the importance of cyber security and to ensure that all Americans have the resources they need to be safer and more secure online.

This year, the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) has turned its focus on the role each individual plays in maintaining online safety, emphasizing personal accountability and stressing the importance of taking proactive steps to enhance cyber security both at home and in the workplace.

In a press release, Kelvin Coleman, executive director of the NCSA explained:

"As we approach the 16th annual National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we remind connected technology users that safeguarding the internet is a responsibility we all share."
