Building a Cyber Strong America
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month! For more than 20 years we have spotlighted the importance of taking daily action to reduce risks when online and using connected devices. This year, we focus on the government entities and small and medium businesses that are vital to protecting the systems and services that sustain us every day and make America a great place to live and do business: the nation’s critical infrastructure. Much of the nation’s critical infrastructure is owned and operated by state, local, tribal, and territorial governments as well as private companies. Additionally, vendors, suppliers, and other parts of the supply chain that support or are connected to critical infrastructure play a critical cybersecurity role.
This year’s theme is Building a Cyber Strong America, highlighting the need to strengthen the country's infrastructure against cyber threats, ensuring resilience and security.
Cyber threats don’t take time off. As the federal lead for Cybersecurity Awareness Month and the nation’s cyber defense agency, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, or CISA, urges all U.S. small and medium businesses and state, local, tribal, and territorial governments to take one action today to improve their cybersecurity.
CISA’s Acting Director discusses our focus on government entities and small and medium businesses that are vital to protecting the systems and services that sustain us every day and make America a great place to live and do business.
This Cybersecurity Awareness Month, commit to having better cybersecurity in your organization to protect customers, communities and critical infrastructure.
Critical infrastructure relies on small and medium business to supply, support, or even operate services we all rely on. Make sure your business is cyber secure so you don’t experience an incident that could impact critical services.
Safeguard U.S. state, local, tribal and territorial government from online threats that can disrupt operations and endanger sensitive data. Help strengthen your community's digital defenses.
