Strengthening cyber security is everyone’s business. Every day we connect to cyber space and with that comes risks. We may feel safe and invincible, but the reality is that threat actors, cyber criminals, and basement hackers do not take breaks.

This Cyber Security in the GC Boot Camp provides valuable information on the threats we face, how to mitigate risks, and how to apply best practices when we use wireless devices, connect to our network from home, and use various software programs.
