App

The NCSA mobile App is a one stop location for anyone interested in staying safe online. Using NCSA’ own safety tips, videos, and blogs combined with alerts, news and blogs from outside sources, the app consolidates the significant volumes of information on staying safe online with news about technology and threats.

In addition, the App features streaming security alerts from a variety of sources and direct links to report cybercrime or other events to authorities and major web services.

By staying current on the new threats to avoid and how to stay safe online, NCSA hopes the App will help foster a culture of cybersecurity for all.

NCSA, as the leading public private partnership to educate and make people aware of how to use the Internet safely and securely protecting themselves and others, uses its understanding of the cybersecurity landscape to provide a constant flow of quality information to App users.

The app is designed for a wide range of mobile customers from everyday users to security professionals. NCSA will encourage App users to recommend other information sources and hopes to build an increasingly robust App over time.
