CIRA and Media Awareness Network Help Keep Consumers Safe Online

To mark Safer Internet Day, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) and Media Awareness Network (MNet) are launching a series of cyber security tip sheets to help consumers stay safe while online. While surfing the Web is fun and can present a wide variety of opportunities, you can also encounter unexpected problems. The first security tip sheet focuses on Safe Surfing, which explores the different types of risk relating to using the Web and ways Internet users can protect themselves. The Safe Surfing Tip Sheets will become available on the CIRA website as they are released, as well as on the MNet website at www.media-awareness.ca, along with other digital literacy resources.

This is an excellent resource to share with patrons or to have available at your public internet access workstations.
