Happy Data Privacy Week from the OPC! The theme of this year’s #DPW2024 is #TakeControlOfYourData. Among other things, we will be releasing 3 new videos that support this theme. priv.gc.ca/en/about-the-opc/… #privacy

Earning the CISSP quite literally changed my career and my life - without earning the certification, “Cybersecurity Meg” would never have been created. In order to be an official CISSP holder, you need to have 5 years of experience working in the field (1 year can be replaced with formal education), but if you are unable to meet that requirement just yet, I urge you to look into (ISC)²’s One Million Certified in Cybersecurity opportunity where you can earn FREE Cybersecurity training and a FREE certification attempt. The campaign is geared at entry-level folks who are trying to make their way into the Cybersecurity field, or even for those who already work in the field to bolster their fundamental Cybersecurity skills.    Take advantage of this opportunity to garner more knowledge while you can!   Learn more about One Million Certified in Cybersecurity at: bit.ly/LearnMore_MegWest   #ad

I was born before the world wide web. We can't imagine living without it. Although I can because I did live before it. I create this data visualisation to tell this stor #Innovation #Technology #internet #datavisualisation
