Maitland, FL — March 4, 2026 — Aurora InfoTech, a leading cybersecurity consulting and IT security firm in Maitland, Florida, reinforced its commitment to cybersecurity education and community leadership by delivering a series of interactive learning sessions at Florida Preparatory Academy’s Career Day on February 27 in Melbourne, Florida.
As cyber threats continue to grow in both frequency and sophistication, Aurora InfoTech took a proactive role in helping students understand how to recognize, avoid, and respond to common digital attacks. Chief Security Officer Roy Richardson led four consecutive instructional sessions for rotating student groups in grades 5 through 12, transforming Career Day into a meaningful cybersecurity awareness and career exploration experience.
The sessions focused on essential cybersecurity fundamentals, with an emphasis on phishing awareness, social engineering threats, and digital safety best practices. Through real-world examples and guided discussions, students learned how cybercriminals exploit trust, urgency, and human behavior using deceptive emails, malicious links, and impersonation tactics.
Aurora InfoTech designed the sessions to be engaging and age-appropriate, ensuring students could immediately apply what they learned to their everyday digital lives—both at school and at home.
During the sessions, students gained actionable strategies to strengthen their personal cybersecurity posture, including:
“I am extremely grateful to welcome our alumnus, Roy, back to Florida Preparatory Academy for the third consecutive year,” said Susannah Johnston, Head of School at Florida Preparatory Academy. “Our students—including our younger 5th and 6th graders—were highly engaged. Roy helped them understand how cybersecurity connects to their daily lives and future careers, making it a meaningful experience for our entire school community.”
Roy Richardson emphasized the importance of early cybersecurity education:
