General Cybersecurity Awareness: 5 Years of Stop.Think.Connect

ecognizing the importance of cybersecurity awareness, President Obama designated the month of October as National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM). In collaboration with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, NACo will dedicate a webinar each week to a specific theme to bring awareness to cybersecurity and individual cyber hygiene.

The month’s kickoff will recognize the fifth anniversary of the Stop.Think.Connect. Campaign, a national public awareness campaign aimed at increasing American’s understanding of cyber risks and empowering everyone to be safer online.

Week 1 will focus on general online safety that will reinforce cybersecurity as a "shared responsibility."
