What’s scarier than a data breach?

If you’re in Sussex County, you can spend Halloween afternoon taking a free class in cybersecurity, courtesy of Beebe Healthcare’s IT Security department, part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month.

The Oct. 31 class will be held at the Lewes Public Library from 1 to 3 p.m.

Topics the two-hour class will cover include:

  • Security awareness
  • Identifying phishing emails
  • Critical impacts of data breaches on the industry and communities
  • How to respond if your information has been leaked

If you’ve got too much on your plate on the 31st, there will also be a class on Oct. 28 at the Rehoboth Beach Public Library from 1 to 3 p.m.

Beebe Healthcare, which changed its name from Beebe Medical Center in 2013, has been growing rapidly in the past few years, with plans for a new specialty surgical hospital in Rehoboth, a new cancer care center in Millville, and a new heart and vascular center in Lewes. Currently, it has over 200 job openings in tech, medicine and administration.
