After months of preparing materials and updating content, the National Cyber Security Alliance is excited to announce our site portal launch for National Cyber Security Awareness Month 2010! What are you doing to educate your students, co-workers, employees, friends and family?

Of the many online safety resources available for parents and kids, the Federal Trade Commission’s web resources are some of the best. Two new FTC resources continue their efforts to bring useable, comprehensive information to consumers. (click here to read more)

Canada recently announced it is using October as a platform for Cyber Security Awareness Month activities.

As we all know, cyber security knows no boundaries. In a global network of computers, each computer and network needs to be secured and each user has to take responsibility for securing their part of cyber space. 

Canada’s efforts as well as those of other countries are critical to ensuring every computer user employs basic security practices and secure online behavior. Like the United States, the Canadian awareness activities are a public private partnership. The government is working closely with The Retail Council of Canada to get the word out to as many Canadians as possible. It is great that Canada and the US are in alignment on awareness activities. It broadens everyone's reach and reinforces the secuirty messages.

The theme for National Cyber Security Awareness Month is Our Shared Responsibility. We are thrilled to be sharing it with Canada.
