Logical Operations Partners with the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) in Support of Safe Internet Practices through Education
Rochester, N.Y. (PRWEB) May 07, 2015 -- Logical Operations, the world’s leading provider of information technology instructor-led courseware, has partnered with the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), a nonprofit public-private partnership focused on helping all digital citizens stay safer and more secure online.
As part of this partnership, Logical Operations will join forces with the NCSA to support their initiatives for developing safe education and awareness efforts to empower users at home, work, and school with the information they need to keep themselves, their organizations, their systems, and their sensitive information safe and secure online and encourage a culture of cybersecurity. Bill Rosenthal, CEO of Logical Operations, has joined the NCSA’s Board of Directors alongside other representatives from organizations such as AT&T, Bank of America, Facebook, Google, Intel, Microsoft, Verizon, Visa, and more. In his role, Rosenthal will support the Board of Directors’ efforts to plan and execute initiatives on behalf of NCSA.
"Bill and the Logical Operations team clearly understand the dire need for awareness and education, both of which are basic NCSA tenets and vital to the world of cybersecurity,” said Michael Kaiser, NCSA’s executive director. “At a time when cyber threats continue to be a national concern, Logical Operations has identified ways to help keep online safety top of mind through programs that empower a digital society to use the Internet safely and securely. NCSA looks forward to a long-lasting, collaborative relationship with the organization.”
“Logical Operations is inspired by NCSA’s ongoing cyber safety initiatives. It will be a privilege to serve and support some of the world’s most influential experts toward the much-needed goal of cyber safety,” said Rosenthal.
With ongoing cyber-attacks across a variety of industries and a critical lack in the promotion of cyber best practices, Logical Operations will debut Cybersecurity Awareness Week June 1 through June 5 to help fight cybercrime. The week is a national initiative aimed at educating end-users about the various ways that they can play a proactive role in combatting cybercrime. During Cybersecurity Awareness Week, participants will have the opportunity to join an educational webinar focused on pertinent security issues, a Twitter chat featuring key industry leaders, and the new-to-market CyberSAFE class.
“We look forward to launching Cybersecurity Awareness Week to further the company’s steadfast commitment to this issue,” added Rosenthal. “We have created several opportunities to enhance the public’s cybersecurity knowledge base with education and best practices as the driving forces. Our commitment will continue year-round as we work to collaborate closely with NCSA on a variety of ongoing programs.”
