Cybersecurity awareness is not just for businesses — it’s also essential for families navigating today’s complex digital world. Children’s online activities can expose families to cyber threats like hacking, data breaches, and privacy intrusions, with many parents unaware of the potential risks in everyday technology and digital platforms. From the overlooked risks of unsecured smart devices to gaming platforms and the rising threats of deepfakes and social engineering scams, parents face new threats impacting their children’s safety and privacy. So, how can parents proactively take control of cybersecurity measures while fostering a safer online environment?

Simple, yet actionable steps, like enabling two-factor authentication, regularly updating passwords, and fostering open communication with children about online activities are vital for managing their online presence safely. Combining these practices with cybersecurity awareness education equips parents with the tools they need to protect their children in today’s ever-changing digital landscape.

In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with Allie Hunter, author of Mothers Against Cybercrime and a cybersecurity advocate, about how parents can protect their children from cyber threats. Allie highlights common but underestimated threats, such as unsecured smart devices and online gaming vulnerabilities, offering practical tips for enhancing security measures at home. She also discusses her work with Savvy Cyber Kids and shares insights into the development of her “Hunter Method,” a unique training approach that leverages real-life scenarios to help parents identify and respond to cyber threats effectively.
