National Cybersecurity Awareness Month Seeks Champions

Cybersecurity Awareness Month – observed every October – was created as a collaborative effort between government and industry to ensure every American has the resources they need to stay safer and more secure online.

Since its original inception under leadership from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), Cybersecurity Awareness Month has grown exponentially, reaching consumers, small and medium-sized businesses, corporations, educational institutions and young people across the nation. Now in its 17th year, Cybersecurity Awareness Month continues to build momentum and impact co-led by NCSA and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA).

The Cybersecurity Awareness Month Champion program is a way to officially show your support for cybersecurity awareness. Champions include companies and organizations of all sizes, schools and school districts, colleges and universities, nonprofits, government organizations and individuals dedicated to promoting a safer, more secure and more trusted internet. Becoming a Champion is easy and does not require any financial support. All Champions receive special access to a toolkit of materials to help you implement your own cyber awareness initiatives and activities during Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
