 Expressing support for the proclamation of a ``National Cybersecurity 
                           Awareness Month''.

Whereas the President and Congress have declared October to be Cybersecurity 
        Awareness Month every year since 2004, encouraging and supporting 
        individuals to protect themselves online as cyber threats become more 
        complex;
Whereas the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the 
        National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA) collaborate with government and 
        private sector partners to launch a monthlong campaign to raise 
        cybersecurity awareness nationally and internationally;
Whereas CISA and the NCA will promote four key cybersecurity behaviors 
        throughout October, including--

    (1) creating strong passwords and use a password manager;

    (2) enabling multifactor authentication;

    (3) updating user software; and

    (4) recognizing and reporting phishing attempts;

Whereas these efforts aim to support CISA's year-round efforts to advance 
        American cyber literacy, including tailored cybersecurity awareness 
        toolkits for students, parents, educators, young professionals, older 
        Americans, government, industry, small business, and law enforcement 
        personnel; and
Whereas it is of interest to national security that the United States continues 
        to support individuals and government and private sector entities of all 
        sizes to enhance cybersecurity awareness nationwide: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) expresses support for the proclamation of a ``National 
        Cybersecurity Awareness Month'';
            (2) invites individuals and organizations in the United 
        States to--
                    (A) recognize the importance of cybersecurity 
                awareness; and
                    (B) support the efforts of the Department of 
                Homeland Security, as well as other Federal, State, and 
                local educational entities, to enhance visibility of 
                cybersecurity resources; and
            (3) commits to--
                    (A) raising awareness regarding cybersecurity 
                education; and
                    (B) taking appropriate legislative action in 
                support of CISA's efforts to enhance cybersecurity 
                awareness for public and private entities throughout 
                the United States.
