CEO of Wilton Technology Firm Will Discuss Cybersecurity

Join us this Thursday as we hear from Sam Disraelly, Amazon best selling author and founder and CEO of the local cybersecurity and managed technology firm, Your Tech Department LLC.

Sam will discuss the current state of data and identity security on the Internet, and provide tips and tricks for keeping yourself, your family, business and money safe in this new, dangerous reality where you can barely trust your own eyes and ears, and scammers lurk around almost every website and email.

How do you know who to trust online?

Sam will review password creation and management tips, understanding Multi-Factor Authentication, asking for help a safe way, and picking trusted providers.
