Digital Safety Program for All
The Brain Injury Association of Windsor and Essex County (BIAWE) is pleased to present four free public sessions about common safety issues one encounters when using technology such as a cell phone, chrome book, computer, or tablet.
Each year thousands of Canadians are targeted for online and telephone scams, frauds, and account breaches. Such security threats include calls from fake support, the CRA scam, phishing emails, and ransom viruses. This four-part series will provide information about common safety issues encountered with technology and online use and how to manage these threats and secure safety.
Kevin Cosgrove, a highly regarded Certified IT Technician and Civilian Security Advisor will be presenting the sessions. Attendees will learn more about understanding their device and internet addresses, setting up emails and keeping them safe. WIFI security, password management, junk programs and much more will be discussed.
To accommodate most everyone, these sessions will be offered in-person at 1100 University Ave. W. on Saturdays January 14, February 4, February 25 and March 18 at 1:00. People who attend the in-person sessions can bring their technology devices to get individual help. For those who cannot attend, the sessions will be offered on zoom.
Registration is required for the in-person sessions through Eventbrite.
This program has been made available through funding provided by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, an agency of the Government of Ontario.
The Brain Injury Association of Windsor and Essex County’s mission is to enhance the lives of those affected by an acquired brain injury through education, support and advocacy.
