WOODBURY, Minn., April 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- To provide cyber security education to Ideal Credit Union members and the community, Ideal CU Chief Marketing and Sales Officer Alisha Johnson teamed up with nationally recognized security expert Jim Stickley to host two live webinars on Tuesday, March 23, 2021. One webinar focused on personal security and the other explored the more advanced measures businesses need to take to keep their customer and employee information safe.

During the personal security webinar, Johnson and Stickley discussed online and mobile security, identifying phone scams, how criminals use the Dark Web and more. Questions from the live audience such as "Is it safe to have my computer remember my passwords?" and "How do I safely unsubscribe from spam email?" prompted answers to common situations faced every day when signing in online.

Very helpful and informative. I look forward to the Fall Webinar and any others Ideal may offer - Live webinar attendee

The business webinar addressed concerns of entrepreneurs and professionals in the security industry. Key takeaways included best practices for sending/sharing files, resources for preventing threats, and the top reasons having a Risk Management/Cyber Security program is essential for businesses of any size. Throughout the webinar, Johnson relayed questions from current Ideal CU business members wanting guidance on antivirus software, incident response models and how to get started with a proactive cyber security plan.

"As a financial, we have a unique responsibility to empower individuals and businesses to better protect themselves against cyber security threats," said Johnson. "Our partnership with Jim Stickley helps us do that. We feel privileged to be able to provide his expert knowledge and insights to our membership and the community."

Hundreds registered to attend the live webinars. "Very helpful and informative. I look forward to the Fall Webinar and any others Ideal may offer," stated one attendee in the survey. Others mentioned that they will be signing up for Ideal CU's weekly Cyber Security eNewsletter and expressed interest in re-watching the webinar recordings to take additional notes on the more technical insights.

Both webinar recordings are available now to watch any time on Ideal CU's website and YouTube Channel.

Ideal CU's webinar series is one part of an ongoing cyber security initiative in partnership with Stickley's company, Stickley on Security.
