$5 for one learner: every step, the Network Simulator activities that check the work, the printable lesson, and the certificate with a page of the learner's own work.

A home Wi-Fi network in the network simulator: a laptop, a phone, a smart TV and a game console linked by dashed Wi-Fi lines, with a message leaving the phone.

The 5 steps

  1. 1Protect your travel documentsRead and quizTravel documents carry exactly what an identity thief wants.
  2. 2Protect your Wi-FiTry it hereOn a shared Wi-Fi, others can be on the same network as you, and a fake hotspot can sit in the middle. See it on the network below.
  3. 3Protect your conversationsRead and quizMessages and calls can be read along the way, saved, or forwarded. Know which protections you actually have.
  4. 4Protect your electronicsRead and quizA lost, stolen or tampered-with device can expose everything on it.
  5. 5Protect your environmentCheck itSecurity includes the space around you: who can see your screen, hear your calls, or reach your devices.

Work on a computer. The apps need a keyboard and a bigger screen than a phone: a laptop, desktop or Chromebook. You can pay here and open the emailed link on the computer.
