Keeping Children Safe Online

The last year and a half has shown the resiliency of kids and their ability to adapt to virtual schooling and life during a global pandemic. While many students have thankfully returned to the classroom this academic year, so much of their lives, whether that be social media, education, or gaming, continues to reside online. To help keep your children safe online, our cyber experts have created a complimentary cyber safety guide for parents and caregivers. You can download our guide and flyer below.  

Guide: Cyber Safety Tips for Parents and Caregivers

Our experienced cybersecurity team has compiled their most recommended online safety tips for children ages 3-18 in a convenient, printable guide. The guide also includes additional resources for further reading. Topics include:

• Keeping older kids safe at home if you cannot be home with them

• Practicing healthy media habits as a family
• Teaching stranger and cyberbullying awareness
• Encouraging social media and texting limits
• Raising awareness of distracted driving and its dangers
