This week in National Cyber Security Awareness Month, we focus on keeping kids safe online! CISO Stan Field, Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae and Director Jim Matlock are here with Detective Dwayne Watkins, Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office, Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Member. With schools now back in session, students may be re-establishing in-person friendships and making new ones, with social media being a major factor in many of these friendships. But kids can be exposed to unique risks in cyberspace. Help kids remember that cybersafety should always be a priority. Simple things such as increased safety awareness, monitor online activity, prevent cyberbullying, and use unique passwords all help to promote kids’ Internet security.
