What is NCSAM?

National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) is an annual campaign celebrated worldwide in October with the primary objective of promoting cybersecurity awareness and education. Established in 2004 by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), NCSAM has evolved into a global cybersecurity initiative, gaining participation from government agencies, private sector organizations, educational institutions, and individuals worldwide. The central theme of NCSAM revolves around raising awareness about cybersecurity threats and empowering individuals and organizations to take proactive measures to protect their digital assets. With cyber threats becoming increasingly sophisticated and prevalent, NCSAM aims to equip the public with the knowledge and practical skills needed to stay safe and secure in the digital realm.

Highlight from last Year's NCSAM

Last year’s Sabi Cyber Movement marked a remarkable chapter as CYSED embarked on an extensive adventure spanning across Nigeria. With over 200 volunteers in 11 states, our Sabi Cyber Movement reached far and wide, from Abuja and Lagos to Oyo, Ondo, Kwara, Akwa Ibom , and beyond Nigeria’s borders to Kenya and Ghana. We engaged with 21 schools, 5 organizations, and local businesses, visited 4 radio stations, 4 religious centers, conducted 2 rallies, and participated in 1 NYSC Community Development Program. Social media played a crucial role in spreading awareness and reaching numerous individuals in these locations.
