Digital Privacy and Security

The digital world is as important as the physical world. Each year the internet plays a greater role in our lives as we increasingly use it to live and work. The coronavirus pandemic has only accelerated our dependency on it.

Today we do everything on the internet. Paying bills, buying clothes, ordering the weekly groceries, communicating with friends and family, watching the latest Netflix series, organizing dates and booking travel are just a few of the many things we do via the internet. Most people today can’t live a single day without it. I can’t.

Our increasing dependency on the internet has made us more vulnerable to it. 

- We give away all our personal information, likes, dislikes and deep held secrets to social networks and search engines

- Websites we visit track our browsing habits across the web so they can build a profile of us to sell on to advertisers

- Apps on our smartphones track our locations and our service provider to see everything we’re browsing

- We use the same login details across our most important websites making us vulnerable to hackers

This Digital Privacy and Security ebook will show you how to protect yourself online. It’s about taking control of your digital life to make sure you're safe and secure. Whether that’s following good privacy protocol or using various privacy tools such as VPNs, password managers and firewalls, this ebook has you covered.
