From cyberbullying to social networking to digital identity, each year Safer Internet Day aims to raise awareness of emerging online issues and current concerns. The National Cryptologic Foundation aims to help raise awareness and answer your questions to help make your internet experience safer.

Do you wonder how to protect your phone? Is that picture I posted really there forever? How do companies know I wanted clothing from a specific store? Is someone keeping track of the websites I visit? For Safer Internet Day, Charissa Kim, a young person from K-12 CyberTalk, will answer these questions and more along with tips on how to stay safe on the Internet.

This session is part of the NCF Cybersecurity series of virtual presentations. Register now via Nepris. If you are unable to attend, a link to the recording will be available at a later date via our website.
