\"National<\/a>Emerging technologies offer exciting and economically viable opportunities.\u00a0 However, there are threats that have emerged with new technologies.\u00a0 The internet in particular has created tremendous opportunities to share information, keep people interconnected, and generate previously untapped revenue options for companies.<\/p>\n

With these great opportunities there are challenges that arise.\u00a0 The security of cyber networks is critical in creating a safe and fair environment on the internet.\u00a0 This October marks the commemoration of the Tenth Annual National Cyber Security Awareness Month.\u00a0 Since 2004, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has administered the awareness month to inform individuals, small businesses, and government entities about the security risks of internet usage.\u00a0 Critical infrastructure, wireless networks, and personal email or banking information can all be placed at risk because of cyber crime.\u00a0 During cyber security month the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s National Cyber Security Division partners with other agencies to increase awareness about cyber crimes and to promote methods that internet users can utilize to ensure their personal or professional information is not compromised.<\/p>\n

With ever-increasing internet usage, online users have been placed at a greater risk of cyber bullying, hacking, identity theft, virus infections, and other malicious crimes. \u00a0In an October 17, 2013 Whitehouse.gov blog, J. Michael Daniel wrote about the importance of following safe online practices.\u00a0 \u201cEven though the internet feels like it\u2019s been around for a long time, we are still learning as a society about how to operate safely and securely online,\u201d wrote Daniel, who is a Special Assistant to the President and the Cybersecurity Coordinator.<\/p>\n

The Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation maintain that cyber security is a job for everyone.\u00a0 The DHS has developed the Stop.Think.Connect. Campaign.\u00a0 This campaign is aimed at creating public awareness nationwide about cyber threats.\u00a0 The campaign also seeks to empower Americans to choose safer and more secure online practices.\u00a0 Here is a link to the FBI\u2019s news blog concerning online safety: https:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/news\/news_blog\/national-cyber-security-awareness-month-2013<\/a><\/p>\n
