About this Event

Join us for a 90 minute session with Dave Butler, Cyber Security Manager at Stockport Council, who will run through:

What cyber security is and why it matters
Who is behind online scams
How scammers trick people into clicking malicious links or sharing personal information
An overview of modern attack techniques
How to spot and report suspicious activity
How to secure your laptop, mobile devices, and passwords
and a quick walkthrough of a typical cyber-attack to prepare you for any possible incidents

This workshop will be a mixture of presentation, interactive activities, and group discussion. It is aimed at those working, volunteering, or starting out in the VCFSE (voluntary, community and faith-based groups, and social enterprise organisations) sector in Stockport.

Refreshments such as tea and coffee will be provided.
