Online Safety Education with Protect Yourself This Summer Campaign
CALGARY, AB (June 21, 2006) Shaw Communications announced today it is collaborating with the
Microsoft Security Response Alliance (MSRA) for Protect Yourself This Summer a week-long effort
started June 19 that will aim to educate Shaws customers about online safety and security. Shaw
Communications will be educating consumers through their START.SHAW.CA webpage by providing
specific information about how people can protect not only themselves, but their families, their
information and their PCs. Shaw is the only Canadian communications company to be participating in
this campaign.
Shaw is excited to be partnering with the Microsoft Security Response Alliance for the Protect
Yourself This Summer campaign, said Peter Bissonnette, President, Shaw Communications Inc. At
Shaw we recognize the importance of Internet safety and are committed to ensuring our customers
have access to the most current information. There is typically more Internet use in the summer
months with kids being out of school and people planning their summer vacations, so we want to
ensure we provide our customers the information they need to make accurate and informed decisions.
As of June 19, Shaws website has posted specific guidelines for the Protect Yourself This Summer
campaign, which will include but not limited to the following:
|
|
|
Protect your family: learn how families can talk about and help protect
themselves from dangers such as online predators. |
|
|
|
|
Protect yourself: consumers will learn how to help protect their personal information
while online to avoid identity theft, spam and credit card fraud. |
|
|
|
|
Protect your PC: consumers will learn the simple steps they can take to better
protect their PC from threats such as spyware. |
Microsoft is thrilled to have Shaw Communications on board as a participating organization for the
Protect Yourself This Summer effort, said Kristin Johnsen, Senior Director of Security Outreach at
Microsoft. Online safety is a worldwide issue and we are pleased to have Shaw on board as our
Canadian representative and look forward to the week long campaign and realizing significant
results.
Other participating organizations include AOL, AT&T, COX, Earthlink and Qwest from North America;
BT, LinkDotNet and TDC from Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and NTT Communications and Softback
