Cyber-Security Awareness

Posted on September 24, 2025October 1, 2025 By Critical Links 1 Comment on Cyber-Security Awareness

Featuring Amy JS Vethanayagam – Master of Technology in Cyber Security

3 pm Eastern Time

By Zoom

Are you afraid to click on links? Do you constantly wonder whether what you are seeing is real or a scam? Have you ever been tempted to respond to the wealthy prince in Saudi Arabia who is leaving you $2 million? Is managing passwords and 2 factor authentication becoming a full time job? Whether you answered “yes” or “no” to these questions, this workshop is for you. Whether you are so aware of the risks that you are reluctant to go on-line; or you are constantly finding yourself in hot water for clicking where you should not, this workshop will help you to find a comfortable balance on the Internet.

Join this workshop to find out: 

  • Why you should worry about cybersecurity? 
  • The importance of being cyber safe.
  • What social engineering and phishing techniques are and what to do about them.
  • What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and why you should use it.
  • Best practices to protect data and passwords.

This interactive workshop will explain real world cyber incidents and their impacts.

If you have specific cyber-security questions, there will be lots of time for Q & A when you can get those questions answered.

There is no charge for this workshop, however pre-registration is required.

    Cool. Not the first time CFIC has done such a thing (I did a “Phishing through URL Redirection” talk a few years back.)
    Don’t think I can make this one, alas.
