Tennessee Cyber Hub
#CyberSafeTN is a collaborative source for cybersecurity awareness and information-sharing across TN.One of the State of Tennessee's priorities is to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data that is shared, received, processed and stored. In order to further Tennessee's cybersecurity posture, the TN Cybersecurity Advisory Council has committed to expanding a “whole-of-government” approach to include local governments and citizens. The first step towards this new approach is to improve cybersecurity communications and awareness. With this goal in mind this page, the Tennessee Cyber Hub, was launched to increase security awareness and improve practices across public sector entities in Tennessee.

Since 2004, the President of the United States and Congress have declared the month of October to be National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM), a dedicated month for the public and private sectors to work together to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity. The State of Tennessee also recognizes October as Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Governor Bill Lee has signed this year's proclamation, which you can view here.
This year’s NCSAM theme, Secure Our World, calls all Americans to action to adopt ongoing cybersecurity habits and improved online safety behaviors. Not only will Secure Our World remain a consistent theme for every Cybersecurity Awareness Month in the future, but it will also launch as CISA’s new cybersecurity awareness program. Its key messages underscore how we can Secure Our Information, Secure Our Families and Secure Our Businesses by focusing on four simple, yet critical, actions that everyone should implement and continuously strengthen.
