Rotary meeting
Working alongside my colleagues in the Police investigation teams, my role is to provide cyber and cyber fraud related (colloquially described as scams) advice to members of our Hampshire and Isle of Wight communities. Talks are non-technical, inclusive of all skills and abilities, without overloading an audience. Information provided will be direct from the National Cyber Security Centre, as well as some real world anecdotes of common offences we see being perpetrated against victims of crime.
