Join Sean Martin and Aviv Cohen as they embark on a fascinating exploration of the often misunderstood world of cybersecurity.

Cohen introduces a unique tool to bridge this understanding gap - a beautifully illustrated book titled "Castle Defenders: What Do Cyber Parents Do?". The book, written in engaging rhyme, uses the metaphor of a castle needing defense to explain the complex world of cybersecurity to children. It serves not only as a bedtime story but also as a platform for parents to discuss online safety and cybersecurity literacy with their children.

The book has been met with enthusiastic feedback, with parents sharing their experiences of reading it to their children, and children asking for repeated readings. It also includes ten cybersecurity rules, providing children with practical tools to stay safe online.

The conversation underscores the urgent need for more cyber defenders in our world and the importance of fostering understanding and respect for this role from a young age.
