The Jewish Federation of Greater Binghamton’s Safety and Security Committee will host a virtual training on “Cybersecurity” on Thursday, May 28, at 7 pm. The virtual training is sponsored by the Jewish Federation Safety and Security Committee and the New York State Intelligence Center Cyber Analysis Unit. The training will be open to the entire community, both Jewish and non-Jewish. Registration should be done on the Federation’s website, www.jfgb.org.
The New York State Intelligence Center Cyber Analysis Unit (NYSIC CAU) is the cyber threat intelligence component to New York state’s cyber defense. The CAU focuses on cyber threat awareness, supporting critical infrastructure across the state by identifying, tracking and warning defenders of emerging vulnerabilities and threats. An analyst from the CAU will be providing a presentation on common cybersecurity dangers and best practices.
“The United States is experiencing a heightened level of cyber threats,” said Shelley Hubal, executive director of the Jewish Federation. “Practicing good ‘cyber hygiene’ has become critical to protecting both our personal and business information. Learn how to protect yourself, your business and your community organization from cyber threats.”
