Description: Cybersecurity starts at home. In this session, we’ll cover simple, practical steps you can take to protect your devices, accounts, and personal data. We’ll also talk about different levels of security: essential practices that everyone should do—like keeping browsers and software updated, using strong passwords, and enabling multi-factor authentication—and advanced measures for those at higher risk, such as using privacy-focused browsers, encrypted messaging apps, or incognito browsing. Whether you’re an everyday user or someone who needs extra protection, you’ll learn how to build the right level of defense for your digital life.
