DC CyberWeek Is Here!

October marks the 15th annual National Cybersecurity Awareness Month in the United States, a collaboration between the US government and industry to raise awareness about online security. This year's event is expected to have over 10,000 attendees, more than 100 events, and feature representatives from over 180 agencies, private companies, and service providers. Cloudflare is participating in D.C CyberWeek, sharing best practices, finding ways to collaborate, and working to achieve common goals. The European Union also runs a similar month-long cyber awareness campaign in October. In addition to these initiatives, Cloudflare has joined with 60 other global companies to sign on to the Cybersecurity Tech Accord, a public commitment to protect and empower civilians to take action to secure the internet. Beyond this collaboration, Cloudflare runs two initiatives designed to make the internet more secure for vulnerable groups who might lack financial or technical resources: Project Galileo and The Athenian Project.
