Ostendio is a champion of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) which is observed every October. This month of awareness was created as a collaborative effort between government and industry to ensure every American has the resources they need to stay safer and more secure online.
Ostendio is happy to support NCSAM as our company focus is to help our customers navigate the sometimes tricky world of cybersecurity. NCASM isn’t just a “Hallmark Holiday” like National Upside-Down Burrito Day (though we do enjoy our burritos). Cybersecurity is critical to companies, governments, and the people whose data they keep. So we want to make sure everyone knows the basics of the month-long event.
