5 Star Reviews
Dawn McCarty is my “Go To” person for keeping families and individuals safe. From cyber awareness, identity theft, to online predators, Dawn educates us on what we need to know to prevent being another victim in cybercrime. She has an incredible mix of Cyber-Security topics, advice from the experts, real-life stories that ties it all together. Plus, she’ll show you the tools and techniques to help your family identify and avoid potential security risks at home. If you haven't attended one of her events or courses, you really need to connect with her to learn more about the cyber concerns she is warning us about.
You are such a natural... You kept it conversational. Lots of info, yet approachable and positive without making the tone fearful. This was truly empowering!
Thank you so much for your engaging and impactful webinar about "Digital Wellness.' It is such an important topic that is not discussed yet, and your presentation lead me to be more mindful of my time on screens, which has already lead to better sleep and overall health!
Awesome job presenting "What Does Social Engineering Look Like?" I love that you included the movie and television clips to help show everyone is at risk.
Keep up the good work!
Congratulations on delivering a really powerful presentation on the topic of Identity Theft Protection. The content you delivered was impactful and eye-opening, and you delivered it in such an engaging format.
You were so open about your personal journey. You were honest, strong, and very brave, which gave me the courage to do the same.
Fantastic work, Dawn! Thank you for your efforts to continue to help us improve our patch governance as an organization. You have placed a great deal of effort into your documentation while working to engage the correct stakeholders. This will make a material difference in the safety and security of our systems moving forward.
Thank you for your leadership in developing the international scanning and quarantine processes. These capabilities have improved endpoint data security across the whole enterprise.
Dawn McCarty's work to introduce a new practice to increase accuracy called "proximity" resulted in approval on a new pattern that should knock out a million false positivies each quarter. In addition, her efforts in the policy changes helped to identify and remove over 20 million true positives from the environment. That is better for business, insider threat, SOC, Incident Response, and Data Security, etc. We will be able to focus on the real events... not sift through noise.
Awesome!!!
Dawn McCarty presented were very eye opening and builds great awareness about today’s society that we live in. It shows how technology and our interaction with it can be very detrimental to our lives and our family lives. I’m truly grateful for the awareness that she raised and plan on being proactive to the situation!
Dawn McCarty has a GREAT program on cyber security that protects children, brings awareness to parents and guardians, and most importantly, puts pedophiles on notice. As a participant in your pilot course, which enlightened me on the underground pedophile communication system and more. Parents, guardians, teens, and adolescents should register for your program.
Dawn McCarty is amazing at delivering the message that most people have been avoiding these days. Something that hit me that she said was that it doesn't matter when you may be a victim of identity theft or cybercrime; it is HOW MANY TIMES you will be. That really hit home for me. This security concern isn't going away and now I know that it is up to me to protect myself and my family,
Dawn is kind and knowledgeable in many topics. Particularly in Cyber Awareness and Identity Theft! If you are looking for an identity theft expert to help you "secure everything" as Dawn will say, or for a GREAT speaker on that topic, I absolutely recommend you connect with Dawn!
It is my great pleasure to highly recommend Dawn McCarty as an important, if not vital, source of guidance with respect to understanding childhood trauma. Dawn uniquely brings the child's perspective through adult knowledge and explanation. She has proven time and again her ability to offer such service to parents, particularly targeted parents, so that they may better understand their own personal histories as well as those of their alienated children.
As a parent, I am always looking for ways to protect my kids, especially safety from online dangers. Dawn teaches a course on cyber security on this topic that puts pedophiles on notice. I highly recommend this to all parents and guardians. Dawn presents information that is easy to understand and implement. Dawn is a wealth of knowledge and experience in multitudes of topics that are vital to so many – cyber security, identity theft, and cyber bullying are just a few examples. I subscribed to her YouTube channel and recommend others to stay informed.
Dawn is an outstanding communicator and professional of integrity, whose actions and goals promote the public good. She is an inspiring and knowledgeable speaker, sharing her life experience and solid research to engage listeners and promote children's and families' wellbeing.
Dawn is known as the Cyber Queen and with great reason. It is her mission to help educate and provide complete protection to help defend you out there in this world that has seen such a huge surge in cyberattacks and ransomware, with last year setting a record. Don't miss the opportunity to learn from Dawn how you can secure everything and have peace of mind in today's world.
Dawn is one of the most focused and dedicated women I have had the privilege of e-meeting. Her commitment to cyber-safety and the campaign against Parental Alienation are the 2 areas of interest we have in common. She inspires me and I am honored to say I learn from her engagement and discourse around these 2 issues.
Dawn is not your typical cybersecurity expert. What sets her apart from others is that she makes cyber or online security fun, simple to understand, and she explains “Why" you need to learn about cyber awareness and identity theft protection. She relates to her audience through stories that helps them understand the urgency of protecting or families or our businesses from the hidden online dangers. If you are looking for a speaker who can take your audience through on a virtual journey and leave with an experience they won’t forget, then you need to connect with Dawn. Your audience will love her.
I've had the pleasure of working with Dawn in a dynamic, diverse and challenging environment, and wholeheartedly recommend her! She is the consummate professional, has a high degree of character and integrity, and has extensive knowledge of security and compliance policy, engineering, and workflow. In addition, Dawn has excellent interpersonal and communication skills; a tremendous asset to any organization.
Dawn has done a number of different projects for me and has always gone above and beyond. I just used her as a lead for a high Profile project and received great reviews about her and the team she managed. I would recommend Dawn for any of your I.T projects.
Working in partnership with Dawn on Forensic/Questioned Document Examination cases was delightful. She conducts her forensic analysis with the utmost integrity, paying attention to details and accuracy. She is bright, determined, honest, and an inspiration to others.
I've known Dawn for more than 20 years. When I began my non-profit organization, there was no question as to whom I wanted to head my IT department. Dawn is a well-balanced, progressive thinker who is always learning the newest technologies. She is a consummate professional. Her expertise is deep and culminative. I rely upon her, and have never been disappointed. In this business, one cannot survive without creativity, and Dawn has proven to be an "out of the box" thinker from the beginning. Personable, reliable, intelligent, she's been a true asset for my company. I'm grateful to have her with us!
