Bill > J00073

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 2025 as Cyber Security Awareness Month in New York State, building upon the National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) established in 2004 by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber Security Alliance. The resolution emphasizes the critical importance of cyber security in today's digital world, highlighting the need for individuals and organizations to continually learn and practice good cyber security habits, manage online risks, and build resilience against digital threats. By recognizing this awareness month, the legislative body aims to increase public understanding of cyber security, promote digital safety across consumers, businesses, educational institutions, and young people, and underscore the significance of creating a culture of cyber security and privacy as a foundation for our increasingly connected digital lives. The resolution will be formally transmitted to Governor Hochul after passage.
