[Audio] We've added speaker notes! The speaker notes are not meant to be read line-by-line!!! Similarly, don't read everything on the slides word-for-word. Instead, engage with your audience. Tell stories to help back up the material. Watch your attendees to determine if you are losing them or if you need to spend more time on a topic. Ask questions or randomly poll them about various material. Even something as simple as using audience members names in theoretical examples is a great way to pull them back in. Most importantly, have fun!.
[Audio] We have a lot of ground to cover. Generally, why is security awareness important. From there, some ways to protect yourself including privacy concerns. And last but not least, what should you do if you or someone you know *thinks* they may be the victim of a scam..
