Overview
October marks the 13th National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM), an annual effort led by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to ensure everyone has the resources needed to stay safer, more secure and better able to protect their personal information online. Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility, and all individuals and organizations have roles to play in promoting a safer, more secure and more trusted Internet. As your organization prepares for NCSAM, tune in to a webcast with NCSA Executive Director Michael Kaiser and SANS Securing The Human to get the latest on what’s coming this October and tips for carrying out your awareness and education efforts. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about NCSAM 2016 as they prepare for the month.
