Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. We each have to do our part to keep the Internet safe. When we all take simple steps to be safer online, it makes using the Internet a more secure experience for everyone. If we each do our part online, we are protecting ourselves and helping to make the Internet safer for everyone.
