We have to make sure that our organizations that we work for are protected at all times, and we have to make sure that the data that we have and that we have come in contact with is protected at all times. There are a lot of bad threat actors out there, folks trying to do nefarious things and hacking into things and breaking things and just wreaking a lot of havoc. And unfortunately, we live in this digital world, we have to make sure that we protect everything that we touch. So introduction to cybersecurity. And it's going to be a cool one, because there's a lot of cool threats out there that we need to make sure we know how to protect ourselves against. We also need to know how to identify them and report them if necessary. So that all being said, this is a very cool module, but a very important module. So we will see you in there. Let's begin.
