My Breakout Session: Helping Parents Navigate the Digital World: What Professionals Need to Know
Practical Guidance Professionals Can Share About Online Risks, Red Flags, and Having Hard Conversations.
What this session focuses on:
Parents often underestimate or misunderstand the digital environments their children are navigating. This breakout helps professionals better support families by understanding common blind spots, high-risk platforms and behaviors, and the digital warning signs parents are most likely to miss. The emphasis is on how helpers can educate parents in a way that makes a meaningful difference.
Location: Best Western Downtown Casper 123 E Street, Casper, Wyoming
The 2026 Rocky Mountain Cybersecurity Symposium (RMCS) offers a powerful convergence of innovation, education, and collaboration in the fight against cyber threats. Spanning five days, this hybrid event includes a cutting-edge pre-conference workshop followed by a dynamic mix of keynote sessions, breakout talks, and hands-on workshops across multiple topics and experience levels.
Keynote: Learning the Hard Way: What Our Family’s Experience Taught Us About Online Safety, Advocacy, and Community Responsibility. In this keynote, Cathy Holman shares her family’s real-life experience with online harassment and stalking involving her daughter, and the lessons learned navigating safety, schools, and the legal system. She will also discuss how her family’s experience helped lead to legislative change in Wyoming, and how personal stories can be used to advocate for stronger laws, safer communities, and meaningful reform. This session highlights what families, educators, and communities can do when digital threats become real-world problems.
Workshop: Behind the Screen: A Multidisciplinary Response to Cyber Exploitation. This panel discussion brings together experts from multiple disciplines to examine how cyber exploitation cases unfold, from the moment a crime is discovered through investigation, victim support, and prevention efforts. Through perspectives from a parent advocate, law enforcement, child advocacy professionals, and prevention educators, participants will gain insight into the real-world impacts of cyber-enabled crimes and how collaborative responses can improve outcomes for victims. The session highlights how cybersecurity awareness intersects with victim services, investigations, and community prevention efforts.
