Technical Speaker: Charles Weise, Cybersec Professional: "A Journey into Cybersecurity"

Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue. It’s part of our everyday lives. From the phones in our pockets to the Wi-Fi we use at home, the risks are real and often hidden in plain sight: phishing emails, weak passwords, or unsecured networks. In this presentation, we’ll take a journey through the world of cybersecurity, breaking down how threats work, how tools like Linux help protect against them, and what simple steps you can take to stay safe. Whether it’s learning to spot a fake email, creating stronger passwords, or understanding how attackers operate, you’ll walk away with practical knowledge you can use right away. Cybersecurity isn’t just for experts—it’s for everyone.
Outcome: Attendees will gain a clear understanding on Cybersecurity, possible careers, and practical lessons on defense from threats.
Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate
