In recognition of the importance of cybersecurity awareness, the President has designated October as National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM). NCSAM is designed to engage and educate public and private sector partners through events and initiatives with the goal of raising cybersecurity awareness in an effort to increase the resiliency of the Nation against cyber incidents. NCSAM 2012 entails a comprehensive campaign focused on raising awareness of cybersecurity issues and promoting shared responsibility among all stakeholders for securing cyberspace.
Throughout October 2012 a variety of cyber awareness communications and materials were made available to DOE employees that address current cyber issues as well as our shared responsibility to be good online citizens.
