Practical Tips to Keep Seniors Safe Online

The Take Control: Protect Your Parents from Cybercrime video is a 2:44 digital training resource designed to help employees, families, and communities safeguard older loved ones from the growing threat of online scams. Seniors are prime targets for cybercriminals, losing more money per incident than any other age group. This engaging video explains common scams—like fake bank notifications, fraudulent streaming service payment alerts, phony government account issues, and urgent calls from “family members” asking for money—and provides practical steps for prevention.

Viewers will learn how to start open conversations about cyber safety without judgment, encourage parents to research suspicious communications, and respond quickly if money is sent by mistake. The video also shares easy ways to strengthen their digital defenses, such as setting up password managers, enabling biometric logins, and limiting personal information shared on social media.

Ideal for corporate wellness programs, HR awareness campaigns, cybersecurity training, and family outreach initiatives, this resource empowers employees to protect those who matter most. Each video can be custom-branded with your organization’s logo, making it a powerful, personalized awareness tool for your audience.
