NCI, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCIT), a leading provider of information
technology (IT) and professional services and solutions to U.S.
Federal Government agencies, today announced that it is a Champion
of National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) 2016. NCI joins
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, NCI recognizes its commitment to cybersecurity,
online safety and privacy.
“Cyber risks present some of the most important challenges of
our time — and cybersecurity has been a core capability at NCI
since our inception,” said Brian J. Clark, NCI’s president and CEO.
“For more than 25 years, our federal government customers have
depended on us to provide information assurance and
cybersecurity-related solutions and services. We are proud to
continue supporting NCSAM and the National Cyber Security Alliance
(NCSA) in raising awareness at every level of society, and sharing
best practices for remaining vigilant to online dangers.”
Coordinated and led by the NCSA and the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security, 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 2015 was an unprecedented
success, generating more than 1,700 news stories — an increase of
74 percent from NCSAM 2014’s media coverage. Kicking off NCSAM’s
13th year, this October presents a new opportunity to expand
cybersecurity and privacy education and increase awareness
globally.
"The Champion program is a vital part of National Cyber Security
Awareness Month’s ongoing success. More than 700 organizations
joined last year, a nearly 80-percent increase from the year
before,” said Michael Kaiser, executive director of the National
Cyber Security Alliance. “We are thankful to our 2016 Champion
organizations for their support and commitment to our shared
responsibility of promoting cybersecurity and online safety
awareness."
As part of NCI’s NCSAM efforts, NCI will share NCSAM tips for
staying safe online through its social media channels on Facebook,
Twitter (@nciinc_) and LinkedIn.
