San Diego County Credit Union presents free seminar on cybersecurity

Security expert Jim Stickley to present a “Cybersecurity” seminar as part of SDCCU’s Financial Wellness Wednesdays

SAN DIEGO, CA (April 18, 2018) San Diego County Credit Union® (SDCCU®), San Diego’s largest locally-owned financial institution, will present “Cybersecurity,” a free educational seminar with financial expert Jim Stickley as guest speaker, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 26, at Embassy Suites La Jolla located at 4550 La Jolla Village Drive. This free seminar is open to the public, but seating is limited and reservations are required. To register or for details, please visit sdccu.com/seminar or call (877) 732-2848.

Stickley will provide insight into methods of cyber-attacks that criminals use and how to reduce your risk by showing examples of real cases and more. The presentation is one of an ongoing series of seminars for the community offered by SDCCU.

Stickley has stolen credit cards, hacked Social Security numbers, robbed banks, created fake ATMs, broken into armed government facilities and stolen from teenagers. Fortunately for all victims involved, Jim is a cybersecurity expert with over 20 years in the industry who was hired to perform these attacks by corporations testing their security, and news agencies interested in knowing just how easy it is to commit identity theft. His job is to find security flaws before the real criminals find them and educate people and organizations about what they can do to protect themselves.

Today, Stickley is the CEO of Stickley on Security and can be seen throughout the United States speaking on topics that range from basic identity theft to national cyber terrorism. In addition, Stickley can be seen on numerous TV news programs, is a frequent guest on NBC’s Today Show, and is the security expert featured in LifeLock® infomercials.

The “Cybersecurity” seminar is part of Financial Wellness Wednesdays, an ongoing program hosted by SDCCU to help provide the community access to free financial wellness information. For a complete list of upcoming Financial Wellness Wednesdays seminars, visit sdccu.com/financialwellness.
