Every 2 seconds someone is a victim of identity theft and every 39 seconds a cyberattack occurs.
But, there is a greater and safer way to live, by becoming aware of what your daily habits are and learning to transform the technological world from a "distraction" to a tool to enhance your life.

Now, as a cybersecurity expert, she has dedicated herself to empowering her community on how to make cybersecurity part of their lifestyle to protect themselves and what matters most to them.
