On March 1 the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and SecureFlorida.org brought a free, one-day seminar on safe computing practices to the University of Florida Reitz Union Auditorium in Gainesville. C-SAFE, Cyber-Security Awareness for Everyone, was hosted by the UF IT Security Team as part of its goal to raise security awareness at UF and in the Gainesville community.

For those who were unable to attend, the recorded archive can be found at: http://infosec.ufl.edu/events/csafe/. The presentation is broken into five parts. A link to presentation slides is provided so viewers can follow along.

This award-winning seminar is geared toward educating the every-day computer user on Internet security and to teach ways for users to protect their identity, finances and other sensitive data. Topics include basic cyber risks such as viruses, worms and spyware; how to handle e-mail safely such as spam, fraud and hoaxes; important online personal security such as identity theft, cyber-stalking, chatting, and passwords; and additional security about networks and firewalls.
