Stop|Think|Connect

 

The Stop|Think|Connect campaign is a national public awareness campaign aimed at increasing the understanding of cyber threats and empowering the American public to be safer and more secure online. Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. We each have to do our part to keep the Internet safe. When we all take simple steps to be safer online, it makes using the Internet a more secure experience for everyone.

 

The Information Security Agency has partnered with the Stop|Think|Connect information security awareness campaign championed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. By partnering with the STC initiative, the ISA has been able to keep abreast of current trends as it relates to information security awareness. Stop|Think|Connect has published many aids in the fight to protect americans from the threats that exist on the internet. Many of these aids come in the form of hand outs, pamphlets, and posters. They have been used by the Information Security Agency during the 'Is Your Child Safe Online???' and  'Is Your Business Cyber Safe???' lecture series.
