Highlights Past Events

Cybersecurity Meme Contest

Meme of character panicking after realizing they just accepted  an MFA prompt without having tried to log in.

Congratulations to our 1st place winner Michael Hehman. This meme highlights a key security tip with humor: an unexpected MFA prompt might mean someone's trying to access your account. It's not just an extra security step; it's a warning to stay alert. Remember to always confirm it's you before approving that MFA prompt.

A meme showing a person with an 'I told you so' expression standing in front of a fire. The caption above reads, 'We don't need a budget for cybersecurity, what could go wrong?' and below, 'Me who suggested a budget.'

Hats off to our second-place meme master, Breanna King, whose meme delivers a powerful message about the importance of proactive cybersecurity measures.  It's a visual prompt that reminds us: foresight in cybersecurity is key. Let's not wait for the heat to rise before taking action!
