About National Cybersecurity Awareness Month
NCSAM was created as a collaborative effort between government and private industry to ensure that all Americans have access to the resources needed to stay safe and secure, while protecting their digital information.
Top Threats Facing Businesses
All organizations are subject to cybersecurity threats, resulting in stolen customer data and intellectual property, while causing costly business disruptions. Top threats currently facing businesses include: ransomware and extortion, IoT (Internet of Things) security threats and insider threats. These threats will only continue to expand in size and complexity as businesses grow. A deeper analysis, including statistics of risk and revenue lost, will be shared at the conference.
Shared Responsibilities
The overarching theme of NCSAM asks that every link in the chain — individuals, businesses and governments — each play their role in protecting and securing the internet; including safely securing devices and networks used to access the internet. The STOP. THINK. CONNECT™ campaign was developed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to increase the understanding of cyber threats and empower the American public to be safer and more secure.
Cybersecurity Awareness Conference Goals
By the end of the conference, attendees will have a greater understanding of:
- Current cyber-landscape risk and threats to IT infrastructure, data, finances etc.
- Regulations, as well as cybersecurity's role and responsibilities in the workplace.
- Examples of cyber-attacks and tactics (e.g. phishing, social engineering, malware, ransomware etc.)
- How to mitigate risk (e.g. policies, processes, incident response plans, training, hardware, software, services etc.)
- How to foster a culture that values and stresses data security and privacy.
