Cyber Security Alert

In light of the recent Iran-U.S. tensions, FRWA is concerned that there is the potential for retaliatory aggression against the U.S. and its global interests. Iran has exercised increasingly sophisticated capabilities to suppress social and political perspectives deemed dangerous to its regime and to target regional and international adversaries. Iran and its proxies and sympathizers have a history of leveraging cyber and physical tactics to pursue national interests, both regionally and here in the United States.

We would like to keep our membership informed on developments as to risks to the systems of Florida.  Please click on the links below for the latest in threats to cyber security.
