This update focuses on simple but powerful steps you can take to protect your iPhone or Android device. The presentation walks through common security risks—such as phishing messages, unsafe Wi-Fi connections, weak passwords, and outdated software—and explains how to reduce those risks without feeling overwhelmed or technical.

One of the key takeaways from the webinar is that cybersecurity does not require expensive software or advanced technical skills.

Small actions—like

enabling automatic updates,
using strong passcodes,
turning on built-in security features, and
being cautious with links and attachments—can dramatically improve your protection.

The video also explains how scammers commonly target older adults and what warning signs to watch for before clicking, responding, or downloading anything.

Webinar Feedback

A Great amount of useful information. I have only one problem that even taking notes I was unable to watch the actual searching on the iphone, listening and writing the headings. I believe, we were told that this workshop will be available on the web. Thank You,
