Volunteering can take many different forms, from helping out at a local food drive to tutoring kids after school. But did you know that volunteering can also involve protecting people on the internet? That’s right! Just like superheroes guard the city, volunteers like Jackie Krzyzewski work to keep our online world safe.
Jackie isn’t your average volunteer. She has a cool job working with digital security – think of her as a guardian of the computer world. She’s part of a super team at the Center for Internet Security (CIS), which is sort of like the hall of justice for cybersecurity. The CIS has a set of guidelines called CIS Controls that are like the golden rules for keeping computers safe from hackers and cyber villains.
Even though Jackie is already a pro, she knows that learning and growing are super important. So, she decided to volunteer with CIS to help make the internet a safer place for everyone. Jackie’s story is not just about her love for digital security; it’s about her passion to share her knowledge and experience with others. It’s like having a study group for the internet, where everyone’s input matters and can help make a difference.
The cool thing about the CIS volunteer team is that it’s made up of a bunch of different people from all sorts of places with all kinds of jobs. This mix is important because just like a puzzle, every piece is needed to create the whole picture. When people with diverse experiences get together, they come up with the best ways to protect everyone online.
Jackie’s story shows us that anyone can help out, and that we all have something valuable to contribute when it comes to staying safe online.
