Duane Gerstenberger will discuss Cyber Security at the December meeting of the Marion Women’s Business Council. Set for Monday, December 11th, the event will run from 11:30 to 1:00, and will be held in the Guthery Room located on the second floor of Maynard Hall on The Ohio State University at Marion campus.
As we become more and more digital both at work and at home, checking bank accounts, paying bills and purchasing items online, can we truly say we are well versed in protecting ourselves from theft and fraud? In fact, one of the most problematic elements of cyber security is the quickly evolving nature of security risks.

He is a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) and teaches a variety of CIT courses, including IT Essentials/A+, various Microsoft Server courses, Computer Security Fundamentals, and Computer Applications. Gerstenberger has 27 years of Information Technology experience, and was the lead faculty in the research, design and development of the Cyber Security degree. This included his participation in the Community College Cyber Summit (3CS) held in Pittsburgh, PA in 2016 and in Washington D.C. in 2017.
