Kids! How Do You Flex Your Cyber?
Cybersecurity is like wearing a helmet while riding your bike. It keeps you protected!
Let’s Learn the Basics
What is the internet?
The internet is like a digital space where you can learn, play games or watch a movie when your homework is done.
Grown-ups do things like banking and shopping online too.
What are devices?
There are many ways you can access the internet to play games or watch a video. A computer, tablet and phone are types of devices – and they all need to be protected!
What is cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity is like having a superhero shield online. It’s the steps you take to protect your accounts, information and devices from troublemakers on the internet.
What is a password?
Passwords are secret codes you create to protect your accounts. They’re a special key only you know, so you can unlock your games and other stuff you want to keep private.
The rules in real life apply on the internet too
- Look both ways when crossing the street or watching for scams
- Don’t talk to strangers in the real world or online
- Just like you lock your bike, make sure to protect your accounts and devices
- If something bad happens, tell a trusted adult right away
