MARQUETTE, Mich (WZMQ) – In today’s world, it can be difficult to avoid the dangers of the internet. As technology has evolved, computers have now gotten to the size of your hand, and sometimes even smaller. The dangers of online users have also grown, and Cybersecurity is one way to combat that. “How many people have been told by their bank that their credit card numbers have been used”, said North Cross Group President Christopher Bender.
Bender said one of the most important parts of these workshops is to actually start the conversation around cybersecurity and the steps to keep your information safe. “It can happen to anyone and in any type of size, and just because they don’t have notoriety in the public realm doesn’t mean they’re not going to be a target, so I think one of the big things has been that this is something that we all need to do”, said Bender.
