Sath Inc. Becomes National Cyber Security Awareness Month 2017 Champion
October, 12th — Sath Inc. today announced that it has become a Champion of National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) 2017. Sath will be joining a growing global effort among businesses, government agencies, colleges and universities, associations, nonprofit organizations and individuals to promote online safety awareness.
Recognized every October, NCSAM was created as a collaborative effort between government and industry to ensure all digital citizens have the resources needed to stay safer and more secure online while also protecting their personal information. As an official Champion, Sath recognizes their commitment to cybersecurity, online safety and privacy.
"We are truly honored and privileged to be championing such an important topic that impacts everyone in these very technology-dependent times” said Arun Binaykia, Sath CEO. “We feel as a cyber security organization it is our obligation to make sure we not only draw awareness to cyber security related issues and trends but to also train and educate individuals and organizations on how they can be more cyber secure.”
Coordinated and led by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), NCSAM has grown exponentially since its inception, reaching consumers, small- and medium-sized businesses, corporations, educational institutions and young people across the nation and internationally. NCSAM 2016 was an unprecedented success, generating more than 2,260 unique news stories – an increase of 30 percent from NCSAM 2015’s media coverage. Kicking off NCSAM’s 14th year, this October presents a new opportunity to expand cybersecurity and privacy education and awareness globally.
“The Champion program is a vital part of National Cyber Security Awareness Month’s ongoing success. 870 organizations joined last year, a 24-percent increase from the year before,” said Michael Kaiser, NCSA’s executive director. “We are thankful to our 2017 Champion organizations for their support and commitment to our shared responsibility of promoting cybersecurity and online safety awareness.”
