HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University’s iHub, in conjunction with the Department
of Computer Science, is hosting a new series of free talks for the community titled
“iBites: Food for Thought.” Scheduled in the iHub on the second floor of Sims Memorial
Library from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., the series covers a different hot topic for each
“thought.”
Also available online for those who prefer a virtual experience, the event will
always be held during lunch time, and participants are encouraged to bring lunch so
they can eat while they learn. While the event is free, lunch is not provided.
The first thoughts are on Cybersecurity with Southeastern Computer Science Professor
Matthew McNulty, who will present “How Safe is Your Password?”. Attendees can choose
between two dates, April 19 or 20 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., and will learn about the
importance of password safety and how to create a secure password.
A second lecture on Cybersecurity titled “Phishing- Don’t Take the Bait!” will
focus on common cyber-phishing attempts and how to avoid falling victim to security
breaches. Once again, attendees will have the choice between two dates - April 26
or 27, from 12:30-1:30 p.m.
Registration for in person or virtual attendance is available at southeastern.edu/ihub.
