The resolution introduced in the Wisconsin State Legislature proclaims October 2025 and October 2026 as Cybersecurity Awareness Month. This initiative recognizes the importance of cybersecurity in light of the increasing reliance on technology in various aspects of life, including personal, professional, and educational settings. Since its inception in 2003, Cybersecurity Awareness Month aims to educate users about the risks associated with technology, such as phishing scams, identity theft, and fraud, which can lead to significant data breaches and financial losses.

The resolution emphasizes that informed users are one of the most effective defenses against cyber threats. It also acknowledges the efforts of the Legislative Technology Service Bureau in safeguarding the Wisconsin State Legislature from cybersecurity risks. By designating these months as Cybersecurity Awareness Month, the resolution seeks to promote awareness and education on cybersecurity issues among Wisconsinites.
