Forbes

Tony Bradley

Bitwarden’s research shows that cybersecurity education has to start much earlier — and it can’t be one-size-fits-all. The same fundamentals that protect adults online — strong passwords, not sharing credentials, keeping software updated and recognizing phishing — apply to children, too, but how those lessons are taught must change with age.

Consumer Affairs

A new Bitwarden survey reveals that even as parents step up their online monitoring, most still aren’t winning the cybersecurity battle. Nearly 80% of parents who keep tabs on their kids’ devices have experienced a security incident themselves, and many are learning the hard way that AI-driven scams can outsmart traditional safety tools.
