Held each year in February, Safer Internet Day unites millions of people from over 130 countries to promote safe Internet use, especially among children and young people.

The theme for Safer Internet Day 2019 is “create, connect and share respect: A better Internet starts with you.” Here at InfoSec Institute, we believe it’s everyone’s responsibility to promote secure online behavior. For today’s youth, learning to use the Internet is as commonplace as learning to tie their shoes. As educators, parents and siblings, we must teach the next generation how to stay safe on the Internet — long before they create their first online account.
