What You Should Know About Cybersecurity

The military community is well aware of the dangers that lurk online. You get a yearly dose of Cyber Security Training but are you applying what you learn. Do your spouses and kids know how to protect themselves online? Lawrence Wagner, an Army veteran and Cyber Security Expert, is sharing details on how you can protect yourself and your family online. We talk about tips and resources you can use to make sure you are cyber smart.

I also talk with Lawrence about the amazing work he’s doing to help break the cycle of poverty in low-income urban and rural communities by preparing middle and high school students for cybersecurity careers.
