Virtual Presentations 2022

To encourage engagement and promote CyberSecurity Awareness the Office of Information Technology is hosting weekly virtual sessions with a team member of the Information Security Services team. Each weekly session will follow the weekly theme and there will be plenty of time to engage in general discussion or to ask questions relating to the CyberSecurity Campaign. We are encouraging the URI community to spread cybersecurity awareness and encourage everyone to learn as much as possible because it is easy to stay safe online.
