About Stop.Think.Connect.

The Stop.Think.Connect. Campaign is a national public awareness campaign aimed at increasing the understanding of cyber threats and empowering the American public to be safer and more secure online.

Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. We each have to do our part to keep the Internet safe. When we all take simple steps to be safer online, it makes using the Internet a more secure experience for everyone. If we each do our part online, we are protecting ourselves and helping to make the Internet safer for everyone.

The Campaign’s main objective is to help you become more aware of growing threats and arm you with the tools to protect yourself and your family.
