Now in its 18th year, Cybersecurity Awareness Month seeks to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity across the nation, ensuring that all Americans have the resources they need to be safer and more secure online.

“States need to step up in order to prevent cybercrime and protect our critical infrastructure, consumers, and small businesses,” said State Senator Kevin Thomas. “Data privacy is incredibly fast paced, and our laws are outdated–so we need to look critically at this evolving atmosphere to best protect our consumers. I’m thankful for the members and experts who participated in this webinar today so that we continue to raise awareness during cybersecurity month.”
