Whether gaming, chatting, shopping, paying bills, or attempting the latest TikTok dance trend - much of what we do takes place online. This consistent access makes it easier and faster for us to connect with others and information, but it also leaves us vulnerable to hackers and cyber threats. Companies now expect their employees - across all roles - to have a strong understanding of cybersecurity practices. Much of this also crosses over at home and where it is just as important to stay vigilant to protect our personal information and families.
To help you transition into a career in cybersecurity or gain essential skills that can be applied across industries and roles, we are bringing together an exciting lineup of experts to discuss professional development tips and credentials that can make you successful in the cybersecurity field and beyond!
Join us for the Cybersecurity Awareness Month panel discussion on October 12 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. ET!
