Cybersecurity often feels technical and overwhelming, but staying safe is less about understanding computers and more about understanding human behavior. This presentation, created in partnership with Verizon, cuts through the jargon to provide a practical, non-technical guide designed to defend against scams. Trainers include James Borg of LSNJ and Christopher Peacock of Verizon.
