Build the habits that keep you safe online.
Most cybersecurity advice is too complex, too technical, or too scary. Secure by Habit takes a different approach. We focus on the high-impact actions that actually matter, explained in plain English.
Over two conversational sessions, you'll gain the confidence to manage your digital footprint without feeling overwhelmed.
Session 1: The Foundation
We cay the groundwork for everyday digital safety. Participants learn what their digital footprint really is, how common scams and attacks work, and why anyone can be a target. Through simple, real‑world examples, they build practical habits, like creating strong passwords, keeping devices updated, and spotting red flags, that immediately make their online life safer.
Session 2: Putting the Habits into Practice
We focuseson protecting the people who matter most. Participants learn how to apply the habits from Session 1 to safeguard our families, secure shared devices, and respond confidently if something goes wrong. By the end, they know how to stay calm, take the right steps, and help loved ones stay safer online.
Classes Are Limited — Here’s Why
Because every session is given personally by an IT or Security professional and want to ensure every participant gets the attention they need, we can only host a small number of classes each quarter. This intimate setting allows for honest conversation and ensures that no question goes unanswered. If you don't see an upcoming date that works for you, consider hosting a class for your own group or community organization.
Who This Class Is For
- Individuals who want to protect their personal information online but don't know where to start.
- Families looking to create a safer digital environment for their children and elders.
- Anyone who feels overwhelmed by the constant news of data breaches and cyber threats.
- People who prefer a supportive, jargon-free learning experience.
