Here’s How One Navy IT Team Is Teaching Sailors the Risks of Social Media

lundi 6 juin 2016

Public social media is a potential safety threat to civilians and troops when individuals are not careful about the content they share.

Outside a Navy Exchange commissary in Spain, the IT team performed social media reconnaissance on—willing—sailors and relatives in front of their eyes.

The Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Atlantic, Detachment Rota held two such demonstrations last October, in honor of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and has plans to engage the military base similarly this year.
