Main Presentation: SURPRISE! What’s on Your Computer You Didn’t Know About The presentation explained to viewers about the different kinds of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) that may be on their computer that they do not know about. Information such as Social Security Numbers, Credit Card Numbers, and other health and financial information. Presented by: John Cornwell, CIST, CDP Second Presentation: This months presentation was by Jon Mazur on Readly app. Third Presentation: Digital Estate Planning: What Happens When I Die? Making technology convenient and secure is a problem we deal with daily. We make trade-offs and use techniques to hopefully strike an appropriate balance. A more difficult dilemma that we rarely think about, however, is death or serious illness or injury. If something were to happen to you, would the people you leave behind be able to access the information they need? What happens to your encrypted data, online accounts, social media, online finances, pictures, and digital-whatever-else if you're not around to access it? Jon Mazur lead us with a short video followed by an online discussion on this very important topic. Fourth Presentation: Michael Ceschini's presentation On Line Tech Shows to watch while your stuck in Doors was skipped due to time constraints. Final Presentation: The presentation Hands on with the New XBOX Series X - The world's most power console was presented by Michael Ceschini.
