Resources and Support

Cyber security involves more than putting small barriers in place, such as using anti-virus software and knowing to delete spam. It requires a wall of defenses.

The SAFE-Net program can provide training to help your organization effectively utilize these resources. We offer:

"Train-the-Trainer" workshops to train educators on how to best present the workshop materials at their own institutions;
Workshops to help teachers incorporate the classroom materials in their curriculum;
Workshops for parents to raise cyber safety awareness for their own and their children's internet use;
