Cyber Resilience – devices and platforms
Cyber resilience relates to harms and risks of using devices that are internet dependant – that means they require the internet to be functional. This distinction allows us to focus our teaching and support on issues that only concern devices, platforms and the internet; making it distinct from internet safety which we will explore in episode 3.
Learners need to learn how to effectively setup and use devices, including security and account settings, risks to using internet-enabled devices and how to recover from potential cyber harms, risks and attacks.
