Much more serious support for the defense of the country in cyberspace

Yesterday at the Aspen Cyber Summit, I announced that I’ll be giving another $100 million to build cyber civil defense across our country, and to help Americans and our infrastructure become more resilient against very real cyber threats.

A new public awareness campaign is a big part of this.

This campaign introduces a simple idea to help individuals protect themselves, their communities, and our nation: the 9-second pause. By taking 9 seconds before responding online or to an email that does not seem right, we can all be safer. Our water and power supplies, and a lot more, will be safer - for real.

We all have a role to play. Mine is putting my money where my mouth is.?

Learn more about what you can do to protect yourself and your community at pausetake9.org.?

Craig Newmark You are the GOAT! This was a great talk! You website single handily changed my life! You career of building tech that immediately touches the people is second to none. I'm committing to do all I can in playing my part in TAKE9 and being as you said a "cyber patriot". One way imma do this is to create environments that's gets people into the cyber game that would not otherwise. Similarly to how Craigslist got me and my friends into E-commerce!

Canada, your nearest neighbor and alliance. We could use a little help, maybe fund an OT critical infrastructure project ? We are part of NERC and our overall trade is critical to the U.S. ... Just thinking outside, a box. That once in a while, money is allocated on something that provides exponential ROI.... Chimo !
