Topic: Security Awareness, Phishing in COVID-19 Waters

ISSA Fort Worth Chapter – Virtual Security Discussion

Security awareness for remote workers has never been more important. It is fair to say that there have never been more people working from home as there are now during the COVID-19 pandemic, and home workers are now being actively targeted by cybercriminals who employ advanced phishing techniques as a easy way to gain access to their corporate networks to steal sensitive information, and install malware and ransomware.

People are usually the ‘weakest links’ in these attacks, since most threats are allowed access into companies’ networks through scams which employees have fallen for. ISSA Fort Worth Chapter has asked KnowBe4 to discuss the topic of Security Awareness and what the threat landscape looks like as it relates to how workers are at an increased risk during COVID-19 pandemic.

Date and Time:
Tuesday, July 14th

4:00 PM – 5:00 PM Central Time
Location:
Google Meetup: meet.google.com/paq-bkon-jnz

Speaker: Brittany Scott

Brittany Scott works for KnowBe4 and travels to different conferences and organizations as a cybersecurity evangelist where she presents on the importance of security awareness training. She also founded a nonprofit organization called Gals4STEM, which is an outreach organization aimed at educating, inspiring and mentoring girls and women about STEM careers and degrees. Brittany holds a Master of Business Administration from Johnson and Wales University and a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. She volunteers her time mentoring children through the Lunch Pals program at KnowBe4 and the Big Brother Big Sister Foundation.
