Cybersecurity Awareness Month Continues

Cybersecurity awareness week three has been a continued success with multiple events. The theme of week three was recognizing and combating Cybercrime. This week, we had hand-on hacking demonstration on the “evils of USB,” and “man-in-the-middle” attacks.  Our special guest CyberTed also made an appearance to help spread user cyber awareness.

As we approach last week of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we would like to remind everyone that cybercriminals don’t stop. That is why you must always be vigilant on what links you click, and what websites you browse. Your identity, accounts, and payment information are at constant risk on the internet.

As of Wednesday, Chris Masi, Jeff Morris and Telly Rau are in the lead with 500 points, but you could be in the lead next week! We have some more exciting sessions scheduled next week.andyspeirs
