Join the Messaging Convention and Upgrade the User Worldwide





Proposed by APWG to its members in 2009, the Messaging Convention curates the global STOP. THINK. CONNECT. public-awarenress campaign, the first-ever globally coordinated cybersecurity messaging suite to help all digital citizens stay safer and more secure online.


The slogan, logo and inital advisory suite, today managed by the non-profit STOP. THINK. CONNECT. Messaging Convention, were created by an unprecedented coalition of private companies, nonprofits and government agencies who recognized the power of a unified cybersecurity awareness messaging campaign compared to an uncountable number of uncoordinated efforts

Twenty-Three Nations Deployed

Today, STOP. THINK. CONNECT. has been deployed by hundreds of enterprises and NGOs worldwide. The campaign is employed as a national awareness campaign by national ministries and national-scope NGOs in:

National government ministries and national-scope NGOs of some 32 nations have signed agreements with the STOP. THINK. CONNECT. Messaging Convention, Inc. and are developing their own national campaigns. Other governments and NGOs are working with the convention to integrate the campaign into their strategies this year and next.

The APWG and the Washington, DC-based National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) led the effort in 2009 and 2010 to craft a unified online safety messaging scheme that could be adopted across public and private sectors. Today's campaign to propagate the STOP. THINK CONNECT. slogan and logo will achieve for online safety awareness what "Smokey Bear" did for forest fire safety and "Click It or Ticket" did for seatbelt safety.

Together We'll Upgrade the User
Worldwide

The APWG and NCSA invite all commercial companies as well as NGOs and national and local government ministries to join the convention, one that is delivering a cybersecurity awareness messaging suite that is already deployed from Kyoto to Geneva.

The STOP. THINK. CONNECT.™ campaign, with your help, will soon resonate across all retail sectors, all media and borders — providing globally unified cybersecurity awareness messaging that is broader, more penetrating and more effective than the instrumentation cybergangs use to menace citizens worldwide.

All parties interested in participating in development of the campaign can contact the Messaging Convention at info@stopthinkconnect.org.
