The resolution designates October of each year as Cyber Security Awareness Month in New Jersey, aiming to educate residents about the risks associated with the internet and the importance of safe online practices. It highlights the critical role of cyberspace in modern society, enabling connections, business transactions, and access to educational resources, while also acknowledging the vulnerabilities that come with it, such as cyber crimes and data breaches. The resolution emphasizes that cyber security is a shared responsibility, requiring collaboration between government, private organizations, and citizens.

To promote awareness, the resolution mandates the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to engage in activities and programs that support Cyber Security Awareness Month. By doing so, New Jersey aims to enhance understanding of cyber threats and empower individuals to protect their online accounts and personal information, ultimately fostering a safer digital community within the state.
