Our Digital Well-Being

What is it and how do we develop a healthy relationship with it?

Cyber security is defined as the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks and data from malicious attacks. But what if we were to look at cyber security from a slightly more personal angle and approach it from the perspective of understanding how to care for our Digital Wellbeing? What if, just as we take care with our personal health to prevent our bodies being unnecessarily vulnerable to attack from outside bacteria, viruses and lifestyle diseases, we now widen that net to include developing a relationship with the wellbeing of our digital ‘bodies’?

The reality is that we live in a world where cyber attacks are ever-increasing and these attacks affect almost every corner of society on some level.  However, most of us do not know what to do when it comes to taking responsibility for the health of our own data and digital presence. Instead, we assume that our cyber world is safe and that it does not really need our attention. Many of us can find computers to be complex and cyber security to be another level of complexity beyond that, but what if we were able to put in place simple practical techniques to support the health of our digital ‘bodies’ – would we then take the time to discover how?

This course is presented in a language easily understood by all and will empower participants with skills to understand what is going on with respect to security issues in the world at present and what we can do to be responsible for the health of our own digital information.

The course covers in great depth the issues that affect all users – whether it be businesses, home users or large organisations – giving simple practical examples of what can be done to support you, your information and your presence in the digital world.
