Because digital safety isn’t just for geeks.
You don’t need to be a hacker—or fear one—to care about cybersecurity. Whether you’re running a business, freelancing, or just juggling dozens of accounts between your personal and professional life, this workshop is for you.
In just a couple of hours, you’ll learn how to recognize common digital threats, protect your accounts and devices, and adopt simple habits that go a long way. No jargon. No shaming. Just clear, practical tools and relatable examples that actually make sense.
Expect interactive demos, group exercises, and a healthy dose of real talk. You’ll walk away with a personalized cybersecurity checklist—already in motion—and the confidence to make smarter digital decisions.
No need to be tech-savvy. You just need to be curious.
Feel free to bring your laptop if you’d like to apply the tips and tools in real time. This workshop is part of a 3-part series—you’re welcome to attend the full journey or join à la carte. Summaries of previous sessions will be shared, so you can jump in at any point. A one-on-one coaching session with our expert partners will also be available for those looking for personalized guidance or specific answers.
