To remain vigilant of new hacking schemes, four times a year, County employees participate in cyber security training through KnowBe4. In this training, staff work on their security knowledge and culture to become more aware of network security. Director of Information Technology, Larry Clement, says, "Taking time to set up multi - factor authentication is one of the best ways to protect yourself." This process grants a user access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two (2) or more pieces of evidence to an authentication mechanism. Be sure to take extra steps to keep yourself secure.
