October is Cyber Security Month and NC State plans to engage students, helping them learn about the threats they face online.
The month’s highlight event is on Oct. 22, where the FBI Cybersquad will come in to talk to students in Stewart Theatre.
“We are working with the FBI cybercrime division here in Raleigh, who are coming to talk to students who may want to work with them or are interested in cybersecurity,” said Leo Howell, the assistant director of security and compliance at NC State.
