The vast majority, 90%, of teens agree that cyber bullying a problem, and 63% believe this is a serious problem. Although cyber security software can help protect against some threats, the most important safety measure is open communication with your children. Protecting children on the internet is a matter of awareness-knowing what dangers lurk and how to safeguard against them. Children may unwittingly expose their families to internet threats, for example, by accidentally downloading malware that could give cyber criminals access to their parents' bank account or other sensitive information. From cyber predators to social media posts that can come back to haunt them later in life, online hazards can have severe, costly, even tragic, consequences.

The internet can be a dangerous neighborhood for everyone, but children and teens are especially vulnerable.
