WEBINAR
Digital Defenders, Cyber Villains, and You!
How You Can Byte Back on Cyber Threats
Watch On-Demand
Recorded live on October 18, 2023
In the cyber realm it's easy to think of threat actors as faceless entities operating out of dark basements, but they're humans driven by motives and specific objectives, just like us - the main difference being that they have nefarious intent. Whether driven by financial gain or ideology, recognizing how the cyber threat landscape is shaped by humans will help you better understand your personal and professional threat risk.
Over the last 365 days, we've seen how the threat landscape has ebbed and flowed as humans - both threat actors and everyday computer users - adapt to changes in technology and software.
This cybersecurity awareness month, please join us for a 1-hour webinar to find out:
- How cybercrime actors change techniques
- Why they target who they do and their objectives
- Who the players are, including some of the more interesting threat actors throughout 2023
- What to look for, how to tell if you could be targeted with social engineering, and actions to take to protect yourself
Who Should Attend
This event is suitable for anyone who leverages a computer for their home or personal life and is interested in cybersecurity. All skill levels welcome.
