2.3 . What is Cyber Security ? WHAT IS CYBERSPACE ?
Cyberspace is the Internet . We use the Internet in many ways to talk to our friends and family , play video games , download music , watch TV shows , and much more . Our families use the Internet to conduct work and business . Companies manage transportation , electricity , banking , and other important everyday activities online . Can you imagine the world without the Internet ? People understand the dangers that come with being online and the things we can all do to make sure we are more protected from cyber threats . Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility – at home , at school , and in our communities .
What can you do to be cyber safe ? Follow the same rules online as you do in real life ;
• Don ’ t talk to strangers : Don ' t communicate with strangers online and never agree to meet in person . Tell a parent or another adult if a stranger contacts you in a chat room or through email or text message .
• Look both ways before crossing the street : Don ' t enter contests , join clubs , or share your personal information online for any reason , unless your parents say it ' s OK . Personal information includes your name , address , age , phone number , birthday , email address , where you go to school , and other facts about you .
• Remember all that glitters is not gold : Have you ever received an email offering something free , like a cell phone or concert tickets ? These are tricks designed to get you to give up personal information .
