WREC represented by Gary Steele, Manager of Member Relations, Mike Gayda, Manager of Information Technology, Ben Cooper, West Hernando District Manager and David Gonzalez, had the privilege of attending and speaking with the Hernando Builders Association about a topic that affects us all—cybersecurity.

As one of the largest electric cooperatives in the nation, WREC is committed not only to delivering reliable power but also to empowering our community with knowledge. During today’s session, we shared essential cyber safety tips to help local builders and businesses protect themselves from online scams, phishing attacks, and identity theft.
