At the kickoff, and in the 30 days to follow, government officials and industry leaders will remind individuals, families, and businesses to do their part to help make the Internet safer for all.
As an active member of the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), Microsoft participates in NCSAM each year, supporting and sponsoring various events and activities.? The? Omaha launch will feature remarks by local, state, and national leaders, followed by a series of industry-led instructional sessions aimed at small and mid-sized businesses.?

Although it comes only once a year, NCSAM reminds us of our shared responsibility in helping to safeguard the online world.? NCSA, along with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, drives NCSAM and its hallmark campaign:? STOP. THINK. CONNECT., a simple cue to stay safer and more secure online.
- STOP: ?Before going online, learn about the risks and how to avoid them???
- THINK:? Pause to check that the path ahead is clear. Watch for warning signs and consider how your actions (or inactions) might impact your safety or that of someone else
