Cybersecurity at Home: A Family’s Guide to Staying Safe Online is a practical, accessible handbook designed to help families protect themselves in today’s hyperconnected world. Written for parents, caregivers, and household members of all ages, it breaks down complex cyber threats into clear, actionable steps that anyone can follow.
The book begins by showing why modern homes have become prime targets for cybercriminals. From smartphones and laptops to smart TVs and baby monitors, every connected device creates new risks. Through real-world case studies—like hacked baby monitors, phishing scams disguised as school emails, and malware hidden in gaming downloads—readers learn how ordinary families can become victims if they don’t take precautions.
Each chapter tackles a core area of home security: building strong device foundations, securing Wi-Fi and routers, teaching children safe online habits, protecting financial information, and safeguarding privacy in the digital age. It also addresses modern challenges such as remote work, online learning, and smart home devices, providing step-by-step guidance, checklists, and habits that strengthen household resilience.
More than just a technical guide, the book emphasizes the human side of cybersecurity—teaching families how to communicate about online risks, build trust with children, and develop lasting digital safety habits together.
With its balance of explanation, real-world stories, and practical strategies, Cybersecurity at Home empowers families to transform their households into digital strongholds—resilient against cyber threats, safe for children, and secure for the future.
