Giving Back... BWMC's Next Generation Board funds new Waiting Room for Pediatric Patients & Families
|
|
The University of Maryland BWMC's Next Generation Board is a fundraising organization of young professionals building and growing relationships and financial resources to help BWMC provide the highest quality healthcare to the local communities we serve.
DataLink’s Tyler Staton has been an active member for 5 years as the tight knit group has pursued several initiatives.
One of their highest priorities has been raising funds for a designated waiting area in the hospital's Emergency Department for pediatric patients.
Their work paid off last month when Tyler and his fellow board members presented the check!
Look for Tyler, far left in the picture above.
The waiting room will be a special place for pediatric patients and their families and will help reduce a young child’s anxiety and fear about their emergency department visit.
Please join us in giving back to the community by supporting BWMC
and their ongoing efforts to provide the best possible patient and family experiences.

Email ‘Phishing’ is on the rise… How Awareness Training can protect your business
|
|
Worried about Cyber Security? Malware... Ransomware... Theft of Information?
Phishing is a type of cyber-attack that relies on email. The attacker devises a message that convinces the recipient to download an attachment, click a link, go to a web page, or fill out a form. In an attempt to gain trust, the sender’s email address may indicate someone known to the recipient such as a colleague at work. Or the sender’s email address might indicate a government agency, or a reputable company the person has done business with.
What’s at Risk When You Click
The intent of the email is to trigger the download of malware onto the unsuspecting person’s computer. The malware might scan other systems on the network to collect sensitive information, use the systems to launch attacks on other companies, or encrypt files on connected computers until a Bitcoin ransom is paid for the decryption key. Hackers are also targeting access credentials so they can take control of your email accounts, finances, and other online accounts.
Awareness Training
There is an urgent need to train employees to become more aware of what they are doing online, such as pointing out the dangers lurking in seemingly routine emails and explaining the potential ramifications if they do click on the wrong email.
Such training should include how to recognize a phishing attack, a reminder to steer clear of clicking links in social media pages, and alerting them to be suspicious of conversations and transactions initiated by others.
Training should be reinforced periodically and tested with simulated phishing emails to check how employees respond. This will help them make smarter decisions that will better protect your business from real and emerging social engineering threats.
Don't let a phishing attack catch your people off guard. DataLink IT security experts can help safeguard your business.
