From efforts to steal people’s identities to identify participants in activities, to simple fraud and cyber terrorism, the online space presents unique challenges to the Jewish community.
On June 15, 2021 USCJ presented a webinar with the Secure Community Network (SCN). The webinar provided an overview of the current threat environment, specifically as it relates to online spaces and cyber security; identified common threats, schemes, and efforts directed against the Jewish community, our organizations, and community members, included real-world examples and case studies; and discussed what can be done–at both the organizational and individual level–to protect yourself, your family, your institution, and our community.
PRESENTER Brad Orsini, Senior National Security Advisor, SCN
