In recognition of Cyber Security Awareness
Month, CA renews decade-plus partnership with NCMEC, supporting
online prevention and education programs
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® and CA
Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) announced today that, in recognition of
Cyber Security Awareness Month, the software company is providing
additional funding for NCMEC’s efforts to provide Internet safety
programs to children nationwide.
“Technology is an integral part of children’s lives and while
the Internet is an amazing tool for education and entertainment,
the risks that kids face online are very real,” said John Clark,
NCMEC president and CEO. “We have to prepare them to understand
that the choices they make online can have serious consequences.
We’re grateful to CA Technologies for helping us empower more
children to make safer and smarter choices online and offline.”
CA’s funding will support NCMEC’s award-winning NetSmartz
program, a free, interactive, online educational resource for
children ages 5 to 17. The program’s website receives more than 5.5
million visitors a year and offers resources for kids, parents and
educators.
Active in all 50 states, the program seeks to make children more
responsible users of the Internet. It uses data, cutting-edge
technology, engaging music, and animation to address the issues
that affect children the most, such as cyberbullying, sexting and
revealing too much information.
“We are proud to partner with NCMEC to help keep children safer
by putting NetSmartz resources in more classrooms and homes around
the country,” said Erica Christensen, vice president, Corporate
Social Responsibility, CA Technologies. “We believe this program
has the power to stop crimes against children before they happen
and even save lives.”
For more than a decade, CA Technologies has partnered with NCMEC
to help find missing children, reduce child sexual exploitation and
prevent child victimization. In addition to monetary support, the
company has contributed software solutions, services and
training.
