Welcome to National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM)! The meaning of the month has been obscured from its original purpose, somewhat, due to it having been hijacked by marketing and PR teams. It is worth pointing out that it remains a worthy cause.
NCSAM is a collaboration between the United States Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) and National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA). It is designed to influence government, business, and consumers to consider the cybersecurity implications that are inherent in their connected activities and lives.
This year’s theme is “Do Your Part. #BECYBERSMART.” “This theme encourages individuals and organizations to own their role in protecting their part of cyberspace, stressing personal accountability and the importance of taking proactive steps to enhance cybersecurity,” according to CISA and the NCSA.
At Anomali, the purpose of NCSAM is, of course, our daily focus. We constantly deliver on customer-centric product improvements. We provide the security community with gratis threat research and analysis used broadly to reduce risk. We strive to ensure that public and private sector organizations can leverage intelligence that helps them to know and detect their adversaries.
Over the past several months, we have accomplished many achievements we believe are worth noting in light of the month. By naming these, are we guilty of doing a bit of hijacking ourselves? Yes. However, some of what’s listed are also critical security resources available to any organization that is interested in reducing its risk to cyberattacks and learning more about how it can operationalize intelligence. Here’s a look at our record since March:
