Security Awareness Presentation by Proofpoint, sponsored by TSC

Join the Top Secret Colonials (TSC) as we present Proofpoint‘s team with 3 TSC alumni, for a presentation on Security Awareness on Wednesday, March 2nd at 4:30pm in the Wheatley Atrium.

Colleen Gaffney, Corey Beynon, Sarah Pfabe, and Jake Pacari will be here to provide tips on security and discuss internships and full-time job opportunities with Proofpoint.

TODAY’S CYBER ATTACKS TARGET PEOPLE, NOT JUST TECHNOLOGY. And people are busy. They’re distracted. Sometimes they click the wrong things. Even your best people can open the wrong email, fall victim to fraud, and make the same digital mistakes we all make. People are your greatest business asset—and your weakest security and compliance link.

Join us in exploring the human centric side of cybersecurity! Phishing and social engineering are the starting point for 93% of all data breaches. Proofpoint’s Security Awareness Platform, combined with Managed Services, helps companies train users to be the first and last line of defense when it comes to cyber security. Learn from the leaders in email security on how to protect yourself in today’s threat landscape. Get a taste for the real-world threats that organizations face every day, and the different job opportunities around them.

Hope to see you all there.
