The Village of Rockville Centre and the Information Technology Department recognizes National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM).

NCSAM is observed each October since its inception in 2004 - raising awareness of online safety and security issues and helping educate people about the best ways to protect their Internet-connected devices. The long-standing theme for NCSAM, "Our Shared Responsibility," emphasizes the role that each of us—individuals, families, schools, organizations, industry, and government—can play in helping to create a safer digital world.

Make time during the month, and throughout the year, to take proactive steps to help safeguard you and your families’ devices and information as you go online. Here’s a list of resources:
