We are getting more and more reliant on technology, with smart devices, mobile technologies and IoT devices available on our fingertips.  However, we are also seeing the rise in cyber threats, breaches, and crimes.  Cyber threats actors are driven by various motivations – financial gain, ideological beliefs, criminal intent etc.  Although, the technology introduces these vulnerabilities the best way to keep us safe is knowing how to identify the flags and keeping ourselves safe.

This presentation will prepare you to be an educated and resilient cyber citizen so that you can keep your information and yourself safe.  This is good for individuals, families, or organizations.

Sameer Shakya has over 20 years of experience in cyber security and IT infrastructure, in various industries.  He currently works as the Director of Information Services for YMCA Calgary and also provides network and security consulting.

This workshop will be two (possibly three) parts:
Part 1:  Discovery – we will discuss your needs and current technology situation and intended audience (30-60 minutes)

Part 2:  Cyber Security Awareness Presentation – this will be a presentation tailored to your needs based on the discovery session and will be interactive (based on the size of the audience) (60-90 minutes)

Part 3:  Follow-up (Optional) – if needed we will have a follow-up session, especially if there are unanswered questions or concerns, or next steps.  (30-60 minutes)

We will not be designing any technology or security solutions in these sessions.
