Educating girls on how to be their own cyber hero

No
matter
how
old
you
are,
it
is
important
to
learn
how
to
stay
safe
online!
According
to
a
study
conducted
by


Learning
Innovation
,
more
than
93%
of
students
have
access
to
smartphones
and
laptops.
Cyber
threats
show
no
sign
of
slowing
down,
which
is
why
it
is
important
to
stay
up
to
date
on
security
best
practices.

That’s
one
of
the
many
reasons
why
we
are
so
passionate
about
partnering
with
the
Girl
Scouts
of
Greater
Chicago
and
Northwest
Indiana
to
help
girls
be
more
cyber
aware.
Girl
Scouts
is
a
volunteer
led
organization
that
stretches
from
coast
to
coast
to
help
girls
bring
their
dreams
to
life
and
build
a
better
world.

Together,
we
aim
to
educate
Girl
Scouts
through
lessons
that
focus
on
simulations
of
existing
and
emerging
cyber
threats,
how
to
safely
preserve
important
files
and
memories
and
what
to
look
out
for
when
browsing
online.

Becoming
a
cyber
hero

Our

Cyber
Resilience
patch
program

provides
Girl
Scouts
with
the
opportunity
to
engage
in
fun
and
educational
hands-on
activities
that
ignite
awareness
and
create
better
online
behaviors.

Last
month,
we
joined
the
Girl
Scouts
at
their
annual
Cookie
Rally
that
had
over
2,000
girls
and
their
families
in
attendance.
We
shared
cybersecurity
and
safe
online
practices
with
the
girls
before
they
kicked-off
their
cookie
season.
While
selling
cookies
is
done
primarily
via
in-person
buying,
selling
cookies
online
has
grown
in
popularity.

This
past
October
we
kicked
off
our
first
patch
program
for
the
Brownies
(grades
2-3)
and
Juniors
(grades
4-5)
and
through
a
series
of
fun
activities,
the
girls
can
learn
how
to
navigate
online
dangers
and
stay
safe
online.

This
is
just
the
beginning!
We
are
in
the
process
of
rolling
out
more
programs
to
teach
more
girls
(and
age
groups)
about
the
importance
of
cybersecurity
and
being
safe
online.
