For today’s youth, cybersecurity awareness has become more important than ever. We use the internet for daily activities, communicate with our friends and family, and check out what is happening in and out of school.  However, a weak knowledge of cyber safety can lead to serious security threats and result in exploitation of children and teenagers.

Since children are our nation’s future, educating children on cybersecurity must be our nation’s priority. Cybersecurity is a relatively new and growing field of study, so we must spread awareness on this important issue to adults and children alike. However, many adults are not educated on how to be safe online, so how can we then expect children be safe?

This is why we cannot rely on adults to take the charge on cyber safety.  We must empower young people with the knowledge needed to be safe online.
