Creating a Culture of Cybersecurity at VA
During October 2018, OIT commemorated National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) with an annual campaign to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity. NCSAM was a VA-wide promotion to ensure every employee has the resources they need to stay safe and secure online, while improving workforce recognition of possible cyber-threats. NCSAM key themes focused on:
- Increasing cybersecurity knowledge across personnel to eliminate material weaknesses
- Protecting Veteran data and employee information to safeguard against data breaches
- Securing critical IT infrastructure and information systems to meet binding operational directives (BOD) for enhancing email and web security
