SCAM/FRAUD AWARENESS TRAINING 

Thursday, June 12, 2025, 2:30 pm

Home Federal Bank’s Information Security and Cybersecurity Awareness Program is designed to educate and empower individuals through consistent training, testing, and communication focused on security best practices, policies, and current cyber threats. While originally developed to strengthen our internal security culture, the core principles—raising awareness, changing behavior, and promoting quick, confident responses to scams and cyber incidents— are equally critical for protecting our customers and senior community members. By sharing insights from our program, we aim to help older adults recognize and avoid fraud, social engineering, and online scams, fostering a safer and more resilient community.
