The Sixth Annual National Cyber Security Awareness Month is being celebrated during October 2009 as a collective effort among the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center , the National Cyber Security Division
, the National Cyber Security Alliance , and the National Association of State Chief Information Officers to raise cyber security awareness nationwide and empower citizens, businesses, government and schools to improve their cyber security preparedness and help promote a safe Internet experience.
This year’s theme focuses on "our shared responsibility" we all have to address cybersecurity. In this digital age, we are all connected; the actions of one can impact many. Thus, it is essential that each of us understands our important role in securing cyberspace.
This webcast addressed strategies on how to promote cyber security awareness at all levels - including government, businesses and academia - with specific advice about how you can be actively involved to help facilitate a safe Internet experience. This webcast is a must-attend for anyone who wants to enhance computer security education and awareness throughout their organizations and learn about best practices from some of the nation’s leading cyber security organizations.
***********************************************
The Department of Homeland Security’s National Cyber Security Division and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center have partnered to establish the National Webcast Initiative to develop a series of national webcasts which will examine critical and timely cyber security issues. Embracing the concept that security is everyone’s responsibility, these webcasts are available to a broad audience to help raise awareness and knowledge levels. A number of organizations have offered their services at no cost to government, to help develop and deliver the webcasts.
The National Webcast Initiative is also coordinated by the New York State Office of Cyber Security and Critical Infrastructure Coordination and the New York State Forum .
