About this book

A cybersecurity expert offers helpful tips and easy-to-follow instructions on how to keep you, your family, and your business safer online.
 
The Internet is an informative, fun, and educational resource for the entire family, but it also has its own risks and dangers. From phishing to cyberbullying to identity theft, there are myriad ways you could be harmed online, often with irreparable damage. Fortunately, there are precautions everyone can take to protect themselves, their families, and their businesses—and they don't require technical expertise. In this book, cybersecurity expert Dr. Eric Cole, provides a layman's look at how to protect yourself online.
 
Whether you're a parent wanting to keep your children safe online; a senior citizen who doesn't want to fall prey to the latest scam; a doctor, lawyer, or teacher who is responsible for safeguarding sensitive data; or simply a technology user who wants to protect themselves in cyberspace, Cole explains in plain language the many steps you can take to make your computer safer, protect your email, guard your online accounts, and more.
