The Department of Homeland Security and CISA have kicked off Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2025 with the theme "Building a Cyber Strong America." The campaign targets state and local governments, small businesses, and supply chain partners to protect essential services like water, power, and communications.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem emphasized that "bad actors are trying to steal information, sabotage critical infrastructure" daily. Acting CISA Director Madhu Gottumukkala stressed protecting small businesses and local governments that "facilitate the systems and services that sustain us every day."

The launch coincides with CISA's Emergency Directive addressing critical Cisco security flaws and a new advisory highlighting federal agency cybersecurity gaps, including unpatched vulnerabilities and untested incident response plans.
