To mark Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we’re bringing to you our nationally acclaimed cyber training from our Cyber for Government Leaders Program, packaged up in easy-to-digest bits, through a new pod mini-series called Data Care for Everyone. We all have data – no matter how connected or disconnected we might be. We’re sharing tips and tools to demystify common types of cyber-attacks you could be a victim of. We’ll share from top cyber experts like Robert Herjavec, Shark Tank star and founder and CEO of Herjavec Group, as well as NCC’s Chief Strategy Officer and resident cybersecurity expert, Mark Weatherford, and more. We’ll cover some key cyber-attacks, including some you might not initially suspect, and why they succeed. Then, we’ll jump into how you can defend yourself.
