It was so helpful to take time to really explore some of the benefits the Microsoft products offer and, more importantly, how they work together to optimize your productivity. I recommend taking a look at this fun and informative training session…our office is utilizing many of the things I learned.”

and respond to cyber threats, because security
starts with awareness.
Date: Thursday, July 16, 2026
Time: 1:00pm – 2:30pm

Cyberattacks don’t just target systems – they target people. And in today’s threat landscape, even one misstep can lead to costly downtime, data loss, or reputational damage.
This Security Basics webinar is designed to help your employees become a strong first line of defense. We focus on real‑world scenarios, practical examples, and everyday behaviors that significantly reduce risk without overwhelming users with technical jargon.
Attendees will learn how modern cyber threats actually work, why attackers target employees, and what simple, repeatable actions can prevent incidents before they happen. The goal is not fear—it’s confidence. Confident employees make smarter decisions, spot red flags sooner, and know how to respond when something doesn’t look right.
-
-
- Recognize common cyber threats such as phishing, social engineering, and credential theft
- Identify warning signs of suspicious emails, messages, and login prompts
- Understand why attackers target employees—not just IT systems
- Apply simple daily habits that dramatically reduce security risk
- Know what to do (and who to contact) when something feels “off”
