NEW YORK, October 2, 2023 – Carbyne, the global leader in cloud-native emergency call management, has been recognized as a Cybersecurity Awareness Month Champion by the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCSA) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) under the Department of Homeland Security.
The recognition comes for Carbyne’s efforts to promote a safer, more secure, and more trusted internet.
“Cybersecurity and digital privacy of our employees and customers is important to Carbyne,” said Paresh Patel, Carbyne’s Vice President of Information Security. “Next generation 9-1-1 technology comes with incredible capabilities but also demands great responsibility. We are committed to ensuring 9-1-1 communications are secure for the people calling and safe for the centers using cloud-based tools to help those in need.”
Cybersecurity Awareness Month, held each October, is designed to raise the public’s awareness about the importance of cybersecurity across all sectors. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the special month.

Carbyne’s efforts are both internal and external. Cybersecurity and digital privacy are integral practices for its employees, and throughout the month, the company promotes safe behaviors for people to take control of their online lives.
