Senior Online Safety -AkamaiSenior Online Safety get’s a shout out…

Akamai, a cloud services provider to enterprises, recently gave Senior Online Safety a shout out via their blog. Bill Brenner, one of the most distinguished security bloggers in industry, highlighted Prevendra’s knowledge share project, Senior Online Safety in his piece, Security Awareness for Senior Citizens.  Brenner interviewed the voice of Senior Online Safety, Christopher Burgess for this piece.

Some key excerpts:

“We focus so much on protecting our kids. Nobody is watching the seniors,” he told me in a phone conversation this week. “A lot of people are invested in separating seniors from their personal information and money.”

 

That being the case, his company set out to do something about it.

 

It created the Senior Online Training Program, designed to give seniors the knowledge and tools they need to protect themselves from scammers and identity thieves.

“You can ask any state’s attorney general and they will provide you statistics where the senior/elderly population is viewed as the cream of the crop from the criminal targeting optic,” he said. “Therefore, while our name Senior Online Safety implies our focus will be cyber oriented, we intend to address the confluence of physical and virtual worlds.”

 

They’re also releasing a book, “Senior Online Safety,” which will be available in e-book formats in early April.
