Local denizens from Cobb County and its environs have an open invitation from the county government to partake in the upcoming Cobb Cybersecurity Day 2025, shaping up this Friday, October 3. Geared up to strike a chord in National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, this community event is slated to take the stage at the Cobb County Civic Center from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., as reported by the official Cobb County Government announcement.
Educational yet free of charge, the session highlights hands-on learning opportunities, aiming to bolster the public’s defense against the ever-evolving cyber threats. Promising a combination of expert presentations from the brains of local universities and thought leaders in the industry, attendees are in for an immersive and informative treat. Offering a twist, the event promises a buffet of insights from the county’s Technology-Based Crimes Unit, coupled with practical tips on safeguarding personal data against the wily nature of cyber scams.
More than just being reactive, Cobb Cybersecurity Day also strokes the future of cybersecurity prospects by including career resources for students hitching their passion to this vital field. Adding to the draw, the event sweetens the deal with a complimentary catered lunch, along with the shot at bagging one of several door prizes, including a YETI cooler or a new Surface Laptop, as reported by the official Cobb County announcement.
The significance of such an event can’t be downplayed; as the county reaffirms, in today’s digital quicksand, staying informed translates to staying secure. Cobb County is seizing the torch that since 2004, the National Cybersecurity Awareness Month has been hoisting aloft, endeavoring to fuse public and private efforts in the rousing crusade for cyberspace safety — grounding this mission within the threshold of the community. The event is accessible to the public at no cost, and while registering is urged to get a head count, it’s not a staple requirement.
