Machine Learning Monday: Cybersecurity 101, Staying Safe in a Digital World
As our lives become increasingly digital, understanding how to protect ourselves online is no longer optional — it’s essential. This edition of Machine Learning Monday shifts focus to the fundamentals of cybersecurity, exploring how everyday users can navigate the digital world with greater awareness and confidence.
Join us on Monday, May 18th for a special beginner-friendly session featuring Liz Mejia, educator, strategic partnerships and events specialist, and Key Opinion Leader in crypto, for an interactive workshop on digital safety, cyber awareness, and practical tools for protecting your online presence.
Liz will guide attendees through the essentials of cybersecurity, from understanding how hackers think to recognizing common threats like phishing, social engineering, and online manipulation. Drawing from her background as a political scientist turned blockchain investor, educator, and community builder, she brings a real-world perspective to how digital systems impact our everyday lives.
This hands-on session will also cover practical skills you can start using immediately, including creating strong passwords, using password managers, identifying suspicious links, securing your devices, and setting up two-factor authentication. Attendees will also gain a clearer understanding of data privacy, why security policies matter, and how to stay compliant both at home and in the workplace.
This session reframes cybersecurity not as a technical barrier, but as an empowering tool that helps individuals take control of their digital lives with confidence and clarity.
