    Proclamation 10086 of September 30, 2020
    National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, 2020
    By the President of the United States of America
    A Proclamation
    As technology continues to progress and new kinds of threats arise
    around the world, cybersecurity is playing an increasingly central role
    in our national security and daily lives. During National Cybersecurity
    Awareness Month, we recommit to ensuring our Nation's cybersecurity, and
    we raise awareness of the responsibility all Americans have to protect
    their Internet-connected devices, technology, and networks from cyber
    threats at work, home, and school.
    My Administration is proud of the steps we have taken to promote
    technological innovation and bolster cybersecurity measures. We continue
    to prioritize Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)
    education and employment opportunities, and my Pledge to America's
    Workers has encouraged companies to provide educational opportunities
    for nearly 15 million American workers, especially in areas such as
    artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cybersecurity, and secure
    5G. I also signed the Supporting Veterans in STEM Careers Act, which
    encourages veterans to study and pursue careers in STEM and computer
    science when they leave military service. These measures are vital to
    advancing our defenses and ensuring that the American people have the
    cyber skills necessary to defend our country.
    As our Nation continues to innovate, 5G technology will have a major
    effect on how we live our daily lives in the future. New opportunities,
    however, also bring new risks, which is why my Administration is leading
    5G risk mitigation efforts to ensure that Americans can fully benefit
    from this new connectivity while keeping their devices safe and secure.
    In addition, in March, I signed the Secure and Trusted Communications
    Networks Act, which is strengthening our network defenses against
    threats from hostile actors. The American people and our allies deserve
    to know that our 5G networks will be reliable, private, and secure.
    We must all work together to create a safer, more secure, and more
    resilient cyber world. As my Administration collaborates with private
    industry partners to strengthen and enhance the security of our Nation's
    technological infrastructure, I encourage all Americans to embrace their
    responsibility to protect their sensitive data and to familiarize
    themselves with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's
    STOP. THINK. CONNECT. campaign. All devices are potentially vulnerable.
    But you can greatly enhance the safety of your personal information and
    that of your family, friends, and employers by adhering to the advice
    offered by the campaign and improving your cyber hygiene.
