On Saturday, 15 March 2025, the National Cryptologic Foundation (NCF) Education Team exhibited at The Links, Incorporated - Black Family Wellness Expo in Largo, MD, sharing critical insights on cybersecurity and data protection. With a strong focus on community engagement, Dr. Alisha Jordan, the NCF’s Director of Education, interacted with over 250 participants of all ages, providing them with practical strategies to enhance their cyber safety and digital well-being.
At the NCF table, families explored hands-on resources that emphasized data care—the essential steps individuals can take to protect personal information online. Dr. Jordan engaged attendees in discussions about password security, phishing awareness, and responsible social media use, ensuring that both children and adults left with a stronger understanding of how to navigate today’s digital landscape safely.
This event was a testament to the NCF’s ongoing commitment to cyber literacy and workforce development, reinforcing the importance of cybersecurity in everyday life. The enthusiastic participation and thoughtful conversations highlighted the growing need for cybersecurity education in communities.
The NCF looks forward to continuing these impactful engagements and empowering more families with the knowledge to outsmart cyber threats in an increasingly connected world.
