We're excited to announce that we are a Champion of National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) for the second consecutive year. SIGNiX will be joining a growing global effort among businesses, government agencies, colleges and universities, associations, nonprofit organizations and individuals to promote Cyber Security Awareness Monthonline safety awareness.

Recognized every October, NCSAM was created as a collaborative effort between government and industry to ensure all digital citizens have the resources needed to stay safer and more secure online while also protecting their personal information. As an official Champion, SIGNiX recognizes its commitment to cybersecurity, online safety and privacy.

“We're proud to join as a Champion of National Cyber Security Awareness Month again this year," said SIGNiX CEO, Jay Jumper. "Our mission is to ensure data privacy for everyone. Independent E-Signature™ technology safeguards the integrity of our customer’s documents and sensitive information against unforeseen risks in an evolving digital environment.”

Coordinated and led by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), NCSAM has grown exponentially since its inception, reaching consumers, small- and medium-sized businesses, corporations, educational institutions and young people across the nation and internationally. NCSAM 2015 was an unprecedented success, generating more than 1,700 news stories –an increase of 74 percent from NCSAM 2014’s media coverage. Kicking off NCSAM’s 13th year, this October presents a new opportunity to expand cybersecurity and privacy education and awareness globally.

"The Champion program is a vital part of National Cyber Security Awareness Month’s ongoing success. More than 700 organizations joined last year, a nearly 80-percent increase from the year before,” said Michael Kaiser, executive director of the National Cyber Security Alliance. “We are thankful to our 2016 Champion organizations for their support and commitment to our shared responsibility of promoting cybersecurity and online safety awareness."
