LARGO, Md. (PRWEB) October 02, 2018 -- National CyberWatch Center today announced that it has become a Champion of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) 2018. The Center will be joining a growing global effort of businesses, government agencies, colleges and universities, associations, nonprofit organizations and individuals to promote the awareness of online safety and privacy.

National CyberWatch has been and remains committed to promoting effective practices that lead to safer online behavior and improved privacy for all.

A multi-layered and far-reaching campaign held annually in October, NCSAM was created as a collaborative effort between government and industry to ensure all digital citizens have the resources needed to stay safer and more secure online while also protecting their personal information. As an official Champion, National CyberWatch Center recognizes its commitment to cybersecurity, online safety and privacy.

“National CyberWatch has been and remains committed to promoting effective practices that lead to safer online behavior and improved privacy for all,” said Casey O’Brien, executive director and principal investigator of the National CyberWatch Center. “We are honored to be part of NCSAM and look forward to continued collaboration with NCSA and DHS.”

Co-founded and led by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), NCSAM has grown exponentially since its inception, reaching consumers, small and medium-sized businesses, corporations, government entities, the military, educational institutions and young people nationally and internationally. NCSAM 2017 was an unprecedented success, generating 4,316 news stories – an increase of 68 percent in comparison to NCSAM 2016’s media coverage. Kicking off its 15th year, NCSAM 2018 presents an unparalleled opportunity to leverage the month’s tremendous adoption growth over the last several years and expand cybersecurity and privacy education and awareness globally.

"The Champion program continues to be a such a strong foundation for National Cyber Security Awareness Month’s ongoing and impactful success. In 2017, 1,050 organizations enlisted to support the month - a 21-percent increase from the previous year,” said Russ Schrader, NCSA’s executive director. “We are thankful to our 2018 Champion organizations for their support and commitment to our shared responsibility of promoting cybersecurity, online safety awareness and the opportunity to protect our privacy."

For more information about NCSAM 2018, the Champion program and how to participate in a wide variety of activities, visit staysafeonline.org/ncsam. You can also follow and use the official NCSAM hashtag #CyberAware on social media throughout the month.
