Bill > AJR118

This resolution proclaims October 2025 and October 2026 as Cybersecurity Awareness Month in recognition of the growing importance of technology in personal, professional, and educational contexts. The resolution acknowledges that increased technology usage has led to rising cybersecurity threats such as phishing scams, identity theft, and fraud, which can result in data breaches, financial losses, and personal damage. Highlighting that informed users are one of the most effective defenses against cyber attacks, the resolution notes that Cybersecurity Awareness Month has been observed annually in the United States since 2003. It also recognizes the efforts of the Legislative Technology Service Bureau in protecting the Wisconsin State Legislature from cybersecurity threats. While the resolution does not appear to have a formal enacting clause, its primary purpose is to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity and encourage proactive measures to protect individuals and organizations from digital threats.
