Celebrate with NIST | Cybersecurity Awareness Month, 2024

October starts next week— and NIST is proud to once again be a champion of Cybersecurity Awareness Month. We have a month-long celebration planned, and we are looking forward to sharing our resources, updates, blogs, events, and news with you.

Year-round, NIST is dedicated to promoting a more secure online environment and helping others understand the complex world of cybersecurity.

How is NIST celebrating this October? 

  • We’ll be using our NIST Cybersecurity Awareness Month website to share information about our events, resources, blogs, and how to stay involved.
  • We plan to post a series of blogs throughout October that will feature our NIST cybersecurity experts and share insight into their unique career pathways (and we’ll learn what they like most about working at NIST).
  • We will be using our NISTcyber X account as a vehicle to spread the word about our various cybersecurity and privacy resources—such as NIST’s 50th Anniversary of Cybersecurity History Timeline, which highlights our different milestones and accomplishments over the last five decades. We will also be hosting an X chat and participating in X chats throughout the month (follow us on X and use the hashtag #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth).
  • We will share updates throughout October on our NIST NCCoE LinkedIn showcase page.
  • We will host several events throughout the month. Check our Cybersecurity Awareness Month events page for details.
  • We will be hosting Cybersecurity Career Week during the week of October 14th-19th to inspire and promote the awareness and exploration of cybersecurity careers. Follow the hashtag #ChooseCyber throughout the month.
  • We will highlight Cybersecurity Career Week updates and announcements on our NICE LinkedIn showcase page.

Thank you for supporting us as we continue to spread awareness on the importance of cybersecurity best practices. We hope you can join us as we take part in Cybersecurity Awareness Month; we look forward to sharing, collaborating, and celebrating.
