Have you ever been handed a new piece of technology and not know how to use it?
In the last ten years, the world has moved to a paperless, fully digital technology. At the doctor’s office, applying for benefits, even a restaurant, we are pressured to use our phones. These advances in technology are remarkable for enhancing our lives. People with disabilities no longer depend on others to read them a menu, provide directions or order groceries. Unfortunately, people are given technology yet not provided with the knowledge of how to use it safely.
Level Up Access focuses on security awareness for the normal person. We use videos to teach security concepts, showing people how to protect themselves and their data through easy-to-understand messaging. These videos are free, about a minute each, and can be used to help you, your family and anyone wanting to be more secure.
