Even the most trivial of actions – or inactions - can have a profound impact on our lives, if they end up in the wrong hands. Being more aware of the basic things we can do to protect ourselves is the first step to ensuring our own physical and logical safety. This course covers basic steps that everyone should take to keep their information safe. None of it is hard, but it is a new way of doing things.
