Confidence online. Safety for your family.
Community Cyber Safe is Bullium Consulting's community education program: plain-language workshops and take-home guides that help our neighbors use technology with confidence and protect themselves from scams and identity theft. Offered at no charge as our contribution to the community.
Why This Matters
Scams and identity theft now touch every age group, and the people most at risk often have no trusted expert to ask.

FTC figures are from the FTC Consumer Sentinel Network / annual fraud data; the FBI figure is from the FBI Internet Crime Report (IC3). These are separate datasets that measure different things and are not additive.
A trusted, local resource (not a sales pitch)
Libraries, senior centers, and schools want to help their communities stay safe online but rarely have a security expert on staff. Bullium Consulting fills that gap. We deliver short, friendly, jargon-free workshops at venues people already trust, and every session comes with a take-home guide and links to free, official government resources.
The program is educational first. We motivate with confidence and concrete steps (never fear), and we point people to authoritative resources rather than paid products.
Bullium provides this work professionally for businesses; Community Cyber Safe is how we give the same expertise back to the community at no charge.

The Workshops
Five plain-language sessions, each 60-90 minutes, each paired with a take-home guide.
1. Computer Confidence
Basics without the fear: updates, restarting, and how to tell a real message from a scary fake pop-up. The on-ramp for beginners and seniors.
2. Spot the Scam
Recognize phishing, imposter, tech-support, romance, and new AI voice-cloning scams, and the one rule that defeats almost all of them.
3. Lock It Down
Strong passphrases, a password manager, and multi-factor authentication on the accounts that matter most, starting with your email.
4. Protect Your Identity
The credit freeze (the best-kept secret), monitoring, child identity theft, and exactly what to do in the first 24 hours after a breach.
5. Safe & Sound Online for Families
Parental controls, age-appropriate boundaries, recognizing unsafe contact, and protecting your children's identities, for parents and kids together.
