Home and Business Security: How to Protect Yourself Without a Cyber Security Staff
Hackers are focused on making money through stealing data, stealing credit cards, or holding your data for ransom. Recent attacks have shown they are getting smarter about how they steal data, or make money. This presentation will look at threats and against people at home or in business and how you can better protect yourself. We will discuss a couple of example data breaches and talk about methods to mitigate data loss under this new threat environment.
The ISU Student Branch will host the meeting.
Free pizza and pop will be provided.
This will be a joint meeting with the Central Iowa Section and the Computer Society Chapter.
National Engineers Week is February 19–25. To celebrate E-Week the Science Center of Iowa is presenting an IMAX film titled Dream Big: Engineering Our World. For scheduling information follow this link http://www.sciowa.org/imax/
