Short Takes

Protect yourself, your business from cyber thieves

All it takes is a few minutes for a skilled cyber attacker to ruin your personal credit, steal your personal information, or cripple your business. Take an hour on Wednesday, Aug. 16, to learn how to protect your personal life or small business from malicious attacks at the Cyber Security Institute at University of Houston-Clear Lake, 2700 Bay Area Blvd., Houston.

From 11 a.m. – noon, get expert, practical advice on how to increase the security of your digital assets. Learn how to view emails more securely, and get tips to safeguard web browsers, password techniques, set up two-factor authentication and more.

“Many seminars convey what attendees should be doing, but lack the ‘how’ of it,” said Brian M. Sudduth, training and lab coordinator for the institute. “This seminar will present the what-can-be-done – and how to better secure your network, information systems and online experience.”

Pre-registration is required as space is limited. Cost is $29. For more information, call 281-283-3808 or email csi@uhcl.edu. To register, visit https://apps.uhcl.edu/ECommerce/Schedule/CSI.
