BOLIVAR, Mo. 鈥� 欧美视频鈥檚 student chapter of the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) and the student chapter of Phi Beta Lambda (PBL 鈥� the college version of Future Business Leaders of America) will offer a free cybersecurity service at its Cyberhealth Day on Sept. 14 at the Gene Taylor Free Enterprise Center on the Bolivar campus.

 

According to the Department of Homeland Security, October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month. To help emphasize this issue and raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity, 欧美视频鈥檚 Computer and Information Science students will perform a security check and remove viruses from Windows-based computers.

 

This free service, which can cost as much as $50 or more elsewhere, is provided to any Bolivar or surrounding community member and will help individuals鈥� computers run faster, run with fewer errors and help protect against security threats. Computers must be dropped off between 8-10 a.m. at Taylor Hall, and picked up before noon. 

 

鈥淭he 欧美视频 CIS Department鈥檚 faculty and students are providing this free service to say 鈥榯hank you鈥� for helping make Bolivar such a tremendous place to live, work and go to school,鈥� said Dr. Tim DeClue, department chair and professor of computer information science at 欧美视频.

 

In addition to having a faster, cleaner and more secure computer, individuals will receive a handout titled 鈥淒igital Common Sense: 10 Simple Steps to Online Safety,鈥� which has been developed by the Department of Homeland Security and adapted by students majoring in cybersecurity at 欧美视频. 

 

To participate in Cyberhealth Day, individuals must email Dr. James Cain, professor of computer information science at 欧美视频, at jcain@欧美视频niv.edu to reserve a spot. The department anticipates being able to provide this service for up to 50 computers.
