Community cyber security talk in Arvagh

Cyber security isn’t about fear or complexity. Most risks happen in everyday life — email accounts, phones, children’s devices and weak settings that were never checked.

We’ve all seen them: "Your package is waiting," or "Your bank account is locked." Arvagh/Cavan is seeing a wave of these scams right now, and it’s time to fight back! This free community talk explains practical digital safety in plain language — no sales, no jargon, just real help.

Live Challenge: Bring your phones & devices! We’ll check your settings and optimize your security on the spot.
