In today’s digital age, cyber threats are constantly evolving, and so are the essential tools and knowledge needed to protect ourselves. The Department of Information Technologies at County College of Morris (CCM) invites students, professionals and community members to an informative Cybersecurity Night on Thursday, October 16, from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m., in the Cohen Café, Cohen Hall. Whether you’re a student exploring career options, a professional looking to sharpen your skills, or a concerned community member who wants to stay safe online, this is your opportunity to get cyber smart.  

Held in conjunction with the “Secure Our World” national campaign from the U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, this high-packed event will provide attendees with insider knowledge, expert advice and real-world strategies to keep you and your data secure. This includes how to recognize and report phishing, and the importance of strong passwords, multi-factor authentication and software updates.  

A special presentation by the New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell on “The Ever-Changing Cybersecurity Landscape,” will help everyone get ahead of the curve with a behind-the-scenes look at the latest threats and challenges. Participants can also connect with a panel of industry experts and engage in breakout sessions to learn more. 

Throughout the evening, CCM will spotlight its leading programs in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Security, Information Technology and more.
