In 2006 when Sandra lost her identity, cyber security wasn’t as newsworthy as it is today even though her career was in IT she was not fully aware of hackers or scammers. At the time of losing her identity she had no idea how or what had happened to her.
After years of learning, she has learned the why/what/how of cybercrime and identity theft and what we all can do to reduce the change of being a victim. Sandra has spent years educating and helping others understand Cyber security and to help protect what matters most to them and that could be their personal information, their business, finances, their families and so much more.
