Digital Self Defense
Practical protection for individuals, families, and small businesses — no technical background required.
What this program is
Digital Self Defense is a recurring workshop series that helps everyday people recognize scams, secure their accounts, and know what to do when something goes wrong — without technical jargon, without judgment, and without fear-based scare tactics. This isn't a cybersecurity certification course. It's built for people who use phones, email, and online banking every day but have never had someone walk them through how to actually stay safe.
What to expect
- — How to recognize phishing, impersonation, and scam messages before you act on them
- — Practical steps to secure your accounts and devices
- — How digital risk affects a whole household or small business, not just one device
- — What to do first if you think you've made a mistake or been compromised
- — How to use AI tools to double-check a suspicious message
Who it's for
Parents and families, small business owners, seniors, and anyone who's ever felt embarrassed asking a "basic" question about staying safe online. If you've ever hesitated before clicking something, this program is for you.
