Ventura County Library is proud to participate in National Cybersecurity Awareness Month this October by offering free
cybersecurity education materials at the Ray D. Prueter Library in Port Hueneme.

This event is designed to empower residents of all ages with practical tools and knowledge to stay safe online. Throughout
the month, visitors will have access to:

• Tips to Avoid the Next Scam – Learn how to spot phishing emails, phone scams, and fraudulent links.

• Guidelines for Good Cyber Hygiene – Easy steps to protect your devices, passwords, and personal information.

• Activity Materials for Kids – Fun activities to teach children about online safety.

• Content in English and Spanish – Accessible resources for our diverse community.

Additionally, the Ventura County Library is pleased to host members of the Joint Regional Intelligence Center (JRIC) for a
cybersecurity presentation on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, from 3:00-4:00pm. They will cover popular topics such as
ransomware, crypto malware, security awareness for the public, and resources to empower your family. The JRIC is a
partnership between federal, state, and local law enforcement and public safety agencies that help support organizations and
residents within Southern California.

Cybersecurity has become an essential life skill, and these programs are part of the library’s commitment to helping the
community navigate today’s digital world with confidence and safety.
