ESET®, a global pioneer in proactive protection for more than two decades, together with the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), the nation's leading nonprofit, public-private partnership promoting the safe and secure use of the Internet and digital privacy, today announced findings from a new survey “Behind Our Digital Doors: Cybersecurity & the Connected Home.”

From the moment we wake up until the time we go to bed, the Internet has become the enabling thread that holds together our day. This increased connectivity, however, and our ever-growing number of connected devices has also made us more vulnerable to cybercrime.

With nearly half of U.S. companies experiencing a data breach in 2013 and 2014, lax security is putting many companies at greater risk for cyber attacks.

Following a massive data breach at Experian, 15 million current or former T-Mobile customers woke up this morning to unsettling news: their sensitive personal information – names, addresses, Social Security numbers, birthdays and unique identification numbers – is now likely in the hands of malicious hackers.

The 2015 National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) kicks off emphasizing “Our Shared Responsibility,” the month’s official theme and call to action for all global citizens to take basic steps to make the Internet – a vital resource for our personal, public and professional lives – safer and more secure.

It is just two weeks until National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) on October 1, and the stage is set for a massive global effort to impact millions of Internet users on the importance of online safety and security.

October 1 marks the start of the 12th annual National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM), led by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), the nation's leading nonprofit, public-private partnership focused on helping all digital citizens stay safer and more secure online, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

As our digital lives become ever-more connected, many are left wondering what happens to the vast amounts of personal data floating around in cyberspace. Increasingly, consumers must protect their personal information and learn to better manage their privacy.

To raise cybersecurity and cybercrime awareness in Japan and beyond, the Council of Anti-Phishing Japan (APC) on December 3 launched STOPTHINKCONNECT.jp, the first comprehensive STOP.THINK.CONNECT. national cybersecurity awareness campaign website outside of the campaign's main website – and the first composed entirely in a language other than English.

An unprecedented coalition of government, industry and non-profit organizations today unveiled the first-ever unified public awareness message to help all digital citizens stay safer and more secure online.
