OCTOBER IS NATIONAL CYBER SECURITY AWARENESS MONTH
National Cyber Security Awareness Month was first implemented in 2004. It is co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber Security Alliance. The purpose of the awareness month is to increase awareness of threats to safe computing and proper protection mechanisms. This is sponsored at all levels: Federal, State, Municipal, and also by private businesses and entities.
Since inception, Norway and the rest of Europe have adopted this month starting in 2012. Below are the 2016 materials for the month, produced by the DHS:
