Internet Safety 2025 [ CyberSecurity Awareness Month ]

• Date: October 13, 2025
• Main Session: 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
• VIP Action Plan Workshop: 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST
• Location: Online Event

Overview

⚠️Alert- your parental filters are failing. The old methods of blocking websites and monitoring screen time are dangerously inadequate against a new wave of technology designed to operate under the radar.

This session is not about fear; it’s about feature awareness. Led by technologist and Chief Innovation & Implementation Strategist, NiKole ‘Technikole’ Maxwell, we will pull back the curtain on the platforms your kids use every day and equip you to discover technology in ways you literally did not know were possible, in order to help keep them safe.

It is time to shatter the illusion of control-by-pin-code and replace it with genuine digital intelligence, so you can learn to monitor your child’s use of tech responsibly and effectively.

Agenda

In this workshop, we will move from awareness to action, structured around a clear-eyed view of the digital landscape:

The Illusion of Control: Your Parental Filters Are Failing

Lets put it on the table so we can move forward towards the goal. This workshop confronts the reality that old methods are no longer enough. We will explore the critical threat vectors that bypass traditional safety measures:

1. The New Red-Light District: Generative AI: A direct look at the speed and accessibility of AI-generated explicit content.

2. The Architecture of the Virtual Hidden Channel: Exposing how unmonitored rooms on Discord and Roblox are designed to operate under the radar.

3. The Normalization of Digital Strangers: Understanding why the old “stranger danger” talk fails in modern gaming and social ecosystems.

4. Voice Cloning & Emergency Scams: Unpacking the technology used to impersonate your loved ones for extortion and fraud.

5. From Tech Avoidance to Digital Intelligence: As we conclude, we’ll shift from problem to solution. You will learn the strategic mindset required to move beyond ineffective tech bans, utilization limits and instead equip your family with the critical thinking and resilience needed to guide your kids through the new digital world safely.
