Cybersecurity and Children: Ensuring Online Safety

Authors: H. Brodeur, B. Ferdousi

Abstract:

As children gain access to the Internet at a younger age, it is essential for those working with children to know the dangers of the Internet and how to protect the children. This article explores the dangers of the Internet for children in addition to effective methods to combat child exploitation. There is also a call for specific institutions working with children to act to protect them, including schools, parental and guardian figures, and the government. This paper analyses the current dangers children face online, examines previously implemented practices from various institutions, and provides suggestions on how these practices can be improved for the modern era.

Keywords: Cybercrime, cybersecurity, cyberbullying, cyberstalking, security awareness.
