Internet Safety for Parents with Glenda Snodgrass

This interview is part of a special series by intrepidNOW Lifestyle on Internet Safety. The series is targeted at parents that know that they must protect their children from the dangers of online access but are not quite sure how.  We will interview the experts and share their prescriptive advice.

GUEST: Glenda Snodgrass, President and Lead Consultant at The Net Effect.

Glenda joined us to share his advice for parents on many aspects of internet safety.  Specifically, we talked with Glenda about the following:

1. (3:09) Are people over-reacting to the dangers of the Internet? Or is Cyber Crime really a big threat to our country, it’s businesses and it’s people?
2. (4:08) What can you tell us about the cause of the Internet outage last October?
3. (6:51) Will you please talk us thru the importance of setting up “standard user” accounts on devices vs. using the administrator accounts?
4. (9:19) And what about authentication? What advice do you have regarding setting passwords?
5. (11:14) When I recently attended your “Practical Strategies for Securing Information” workshop, you said that socially-engineered behavior is to blame for most security incidents.  Will you explain that further?
6. (17:08) What are the top 2 or 3 security tactics or strategies that you insist that your family follow?
7. (18;39) Do you have any more workshops coming up soon?
