NCSA launches security month
Watchdog kicks off awareness offensive.
US online safety organisation the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) has launched its latest public
information campaign, labelling October a 'National Cyber Security Awareness Month'.
The not-for-profit NCSA, backed by bodies like the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Trade Commission as
well as private companies, is offering educational DVDs and lesson plans for use in schools, web banners and
promotional material for web and intranet sites, as well as general advice on spreading the online safety word.
The campaign homepage is here.
Find out more about user security awareness at the Virus Bulletin conference (11-13 October, Montréal), where Peter Cooper (Sophos) will present his paper 'User education: teaching techniques and learning styles for damage limitation'.
