You work out at the gym to stay fit. Why not build your cyber fitness too?

All too often we're busy, distracted, and short on time. We're multi-tasking trying to get things done. But that can get in the way of our online safety.

Cybercriminals look for opportunities to take advantage of us when we're out of cyber-shape.

This episode will help you strengthen your cyber muscles and build your scam detection skills.

Here's what's included:

• Wendy shares a story about how an online LinkedIn job inquiry led to a job seeker almost getting scammed out of hundreds of dollars
• James shares a story about a new tactic where scammers use email (phishing) and phone calls (vishing) to  trick unsuspecting people
• Discover tips to build your skepticism muscle (aka "is this really real?")
• Listen to the buzzword and build your cyber knowledge
• Check out the call to action and test your skills.

Lean in and listen - stories are a powerful way to illustrate both what to do and what not to do when it comes to cybersecurity safety.

Thank you for listening! Remember, it only takes simple steps to be cyber fit!
