Alan CyBear, the “Smokey Bear” of cybersecurity, made an appearance in Washington, D.C. last week with the CIAS at the 9th Annual ED Games Expo, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education. Held at the Kennedy Center, the Expo showcases game-changing forms of education technology, including the CIAS card games
The cultural icon Smokey Bear, with his yellow hat and wildfire prevention tagline, has been familiar to Americans for decades.
