The Then & Now: Empowering Older Adults to Stay Safe Online workshop introduces practical, easy‑to‑understand strategies that help older adults navigate today’s digital world with confidence. Built on the National Cybersecurity Alliance’s Then & Now campaign, the session uses relatable real‑world analogies—like comparing a front‑door deadbolt to multi‑factor authentication—to make modern security practices feel familiar and approachable. Participants learn how to create strong passwords, recognize common scams across email, text, and phone, and keep their devices updated and protected. Because cybercrime often occurs silently and targets older adults at higher rates, the workshop focuses on building awareness without fear, emphasizing clear guidance, simple activities, and actionable next steps. By the end, attendees gain practical skills and greater peace of mind for staying safe online.
