Protecting Yourself in the New Digital Era

The New Jersey Association of Women Business Owners (NJAWBO) Shore Region invites you to join us February 5, 2013, 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., for our next breakfast event at the Microsoft Store in Freehold.


Microsoft's staff will present a workshop featuring crucial
information that everyone can use, whether you're using your computer for personal or business matters. In this digital era, it's imperative to protect your computer and your personal information from threats  – such as computer viruses and other malware, e-mail phishing, and unsafe file sharing practices – that can lead to identity
theft or other cyber attacks.


Luckily there are steps you can take to protect yourself and
your computer. During this workshop, the Microsoft staff will cover topics such password best practices, including what makes a strong password and good password behaviors. You will also learn how to keep your computer safer by protecting your flash drive, how to create a strong password, and using best practices and good password behaviors. Learn how to keep your computer safer by protecting your flash drive, using anti-virus software, knowing the hazards of an open network, and much more!
