ADNET is participating in NCSAM 2019

ADNET Technologies “ADNET” announced its commitment to National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM), held annually in October, by volunteering to be a Champion and joining a growing global effort to promote the awareness of online safety and privacy. NCSAM is a collaborative effort among businesses, government agencies, colleges and universities, associations, nonprofit organizations and individuals committed to this year’s NCSAM theme of ‘Own IT. Secure IT. Protect IT.’ which encourages everyone to #BeCyberSmart through cybersecurity best practices.

“We’re extremely focused on security at ADNET,” said Tim Weber, Director, Security Services. “Our mission is to educate clients and the business community on evolving cybersecurity threats and steps that can be taken to protect against them. Preventative measures and training your team can make all the difference when it comes to protecting your business.”

Now in its 16th year, NCSAM continues to build momentum and impact with the ultimate goal of providing all Americans with the information they need to stay safer and more secure online. ADNET is proud to support this far-reaching online safety awareness and education initiative which is co-led by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

“Cybersecurity is important to the success of all businesses and organizations. NCSA is proud to have such a strong and active community helping to encourage proactive behavior and prioritize cybersecurity in their organizations,” said Kelvin Coleman, executive director, NCSA.
