Cybersecurity Tip of the Week: Helping Older Adults Stay Safe Online

Did you know that older adults are the most frequently targeted group for online scams and lose billions each year? Staying safe online doesn't require being a computer expert. Simple steps like creating strong passwords, spotting scams early, and keeping devices updated can make a big difference.

The National Cybersecurity Alliance has created a free workbook with clear, practical advice, no scare tactics or tech jargon. It's designed to help older adults (and those who support them) build good online habits and avoid common scams.

Access the workbook and resources here.
Join the upcoming webinar tomorrow, September 3, 12 pm CDT, to learn more.

Whether you use these tools for yourself, a parent, or a friend, you'll gain confidence to enjoy the internet safely.
