Warning! Your Safety Has Been Compromised (Cybersecurity)
This class is approved for 1 hour of Hot Topic (HOT) continuing education by the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission.
Digital Safety: Protecting Yourself and Your Clients Online
Wire fraud. Phishing emails. Data breaches. The threats facing real estate professionals are increasingly digital, and the consequences are serious: lost money, compromised clients, and damaged reputations. Yet most agents don't have a clear plan for protecting themselves or educating their clients.
This course tackles the digital risks that are most relevant to your daily work. You'll learn to spot scams before they cause damage, protect sensitive data, and respond effectively if something goes wrong. You'll also walk away with tools and checklists you can use immediately, both for your own safety and to educate your clients.
What You'll Walk Away With:
The ability to recognize fraudulent emails, texts, and social media tactics before you or your clients fall for them.
A clear understanding of wire fraud schemes and how to protect transactions.
Strategies for keeping your personal data and your clients' information secure.
A client education checklist you'll build during class.
A plan for handling a data breach if the worst happens.
Hands-on exposure to practical tech tools: password managers, VPNs, and software update best practices.
