ONLINE IT TRAINING COURSES: WAYS OF
BUILDING ONLINE SECURITY
Computer use can be monitored and is
impossible to completely clear. If you are
afraid your Internet and/or computer usage
might be monitored. Hereto, did you know
that you can monitor someone’s computer use
without the user knowing? Abusive people are
often controlling and want to know your every
move. You don’t need to be a computer
programmer or have special skills to monitor
someone’s computer and Internet activities.
Anyone can do it and there are many ways to
monitor with programs like spyware, keystroke
loggers and hacking tools. In addition, did you
know that a “history” cannot be completely
erased from a computer? If you are being
monitored, it may be dangerous to change
your computer behaviors such as suddenly
deleting your entire Internet history if that is
not your regular habit. Also did you know that
cell phone use can be monitored? Remember
that corded phones are more private and less
interceptable than cordless phones or analog
cell phones. Another question are; did you
know that a global positioning system (GPS) can
be placed on your car, in your purse or in your
cell phone? Did you know that some court
systems are placing court records online and
that they may contain personal information?
Did you know that e-mail is like a postcard and
can be intercepted? If you use email or instant
messaging, please use a safe computer and an
account your abuser does not know about. It
might be safer to use a computer in a public
library, at a community technology center, at a
trusted friend’s house, or an Internet Cafe.

e. Systems Security Boot Camps
sunBEN ICT Consulting Services Self-paced
options include an IT security training kit,
DVDs, and online classes. These formats make
extensive use of instructor-led systems
security training videos. Not only can you watch
the videos at your convenience and as often as
you need, you are able to learn from a
certified instructor just as you would via
traditional live training classes. However, with
this format, you don’t have to suffer through
the hassles of live classes. There’s no need to
drive anywhere, no need to adjust your
schedule or miss out on important activities
due to scheduling conflicts, and no need to
work at a pace that’s not comfortable for you
and your learning style. Instead, study on your
terms, when and where you want. If you want
to study late at night, you can do so because
the videos are always available. If an important
meeting is scheduled during your training
time, you can pause your training, attend the
meeting, and then resume your studies once
you have time. You can move through the IT
security training fast or slow; it all depends on
your learning style and preferences. For
example, if you don’t fully understand a topic,
you can either re-watch the video right away
(or watch it several times if needed) or you can
bookmark the video to watch again at a later
time. Similarly, if you’re comfortable with a
topic, you can then jump to another section of
the computer security training without having
to wait for other students to catch up to you.
In addition to the IT security training DVD and
self-paced online IT training classes, sunBEN
ICT Consulting Services in partnership with
sunBEN ICT Academy also offers live IT security
Framework training courses. Enroll in a
distance learning class and receive live IT
security training online from the comfort of
your home. If your company needs to train a
group of IT team members, consider hosting
an onsite systems security training course.
With this format, sunBEN ICT Consulting
Services conducts the IT security training
courses at your company’s location in person.

patient safety is a serious global public health
issue. Estimates show that in developed
countries as many as one in 10 patients is
harmed while receiving hospital care. In
developing countries, the probability of
patients being harmed in hospitals is higher
than in industrialized nations. The risk of
health care-associated infection in some
developing countries is as much as 20 times
higher than in developed countries. For most
people, going online to access information for
classes, managing personal finances and
shopping is just a click away. While the internet
often helps to provide ease and convenience in
day to day activities, it is important to be
thoughtful about how that information is
managed and secured. The digital footprint left
behind can put personal information at risk if
one isn't careful.
Here are some tips to stay safe online.
a. Don’t overshare personal information. Avoid
using full addresses, birthdates, social security
numbers, school identification numbers or
other personal account numbers.
b. Protect your computer. Keep software and
operating systems current. Malware is the
cause to many computer related viruses.
Install antivirus software to help keep your
devices virus free. sunBEN ICT Consulting
Services provides students, faculty and staff
antivirus software for computers.
c. Don’t get caught in any scam.
d. Keep yourself safe online. Click on links
online and in emails that come from trusted
sources. If you’re not sure about the source,
don’t click on the link.
e. Passwords are an effective way to secure
personal information. Use different passwords
for different sites or try using passphrases.
FOOT NOTE: The Internet is a wonderful place
for learning and entertainment, but like the
world around us, it can pose dangers if
precautions are not taken. Allowing free access
puts your child, your computer and your
personal data at risk.
• Remain positively engaged: Pay attention to
and know the online environments your
children use. Surf the Internet with them.
Appreciate your children’s participation in their
online communities and show interest in their
friends. Try to react constructively when they
encounter inappropriate material. Make it a
teachable moment.
• Support their good choices: Expand your
children’s online experience and their
autonomy when developmentally appropriate,
as they demonstrate competence in safe and
secure online behavior and good decision
making.
• Keep a clean machine: Safety and security
start with protecting all family computers with
a security suite (anti-virus, anti-spyware, and
firewall) that is set to update automatically.
Keep your operating system, web browsers,
and other software current as well, and back up
computer files on a regular basis.
• Know the protection features of the websites
and software your children use: All major
Internet service providers (ISPs) have tools to
help you manage young children’s online
experience (e.g., selecting approved websites,
monitoring the amount of time they spend
online, or limiting the people who can contact
them) and may have other security features,
such as pop-up blockers. Third-party tools are
also available. But remember that your home
isn't the only place they can go online.
• Review privacy settings: Look at the privacy
settings available on social networking sites,
cell phones, and other social tools your
children use. Decide together which settings
provide the appropriate amount of protection
for each child.
• Teach critical thinking: Help your children
identify safe, credible Web sites and other
digital content, and be cautious about clicking
on, downloading, posting, and uploading
content.
• Explain the implications: Help your children
understand the public nature of the Internet
and its risks as well as benefits. Be sure they
know that any digital info they share, such as
emails, photos, or videos, can easily be copied
and pasted elsewhere, and is almost
impossible to take back. Things that could
damage their reputation, friendships, or future
prospects should not be shared electronically.
• Help them be good digital citizens: Remind
your children to be good “digital friends” by
respecting personal information of friends and
family and not sharing anything about others
that is potentially embarrassing or hurtful.
• Just saying "no" rarely works: Teach your
children how to interact safely with people
they "meet" online. Though it's preferable they
make no in-person contact with online-only
acquaintances, young people may not always
follow this rule. So talk about maximizing safe
conditions: meeting only in well-lit public
places, always taking at least one friend, and
telling a trusted adult about any plans they
make – including the time, place, and
acquaintance’s contact information (at least a
name and cell phone number). Remind them
to limit sharing personal information with new
friends.
• Empower your children to handle issues: Your
children may deal with situations online such
as bullying, unwanted contact, or hurtful
comments. Work with them on strategies for
when problems arise, such as talking to a
trusted adult, not retaliating, calmly talking
with the person, blocking the person, or filing a
complaint. Agree on steps to take if the
strategy fails.
• Encourage your children to be "digital
leaders:" Help ensure they master the safety
and security techniques of all technology they
use. Support their positive and safe
engagement in online communities. Encourage
them to help others accomplish their goals.
Urge them to help if friends are making poor
choices or being harmed.
More Ways to Keep Your Children Safer and
More Secure Online
• Keep your home computer in a central and
open location: If your computer is in the open,
you can physically monitor your children while
they are online.
• Be aware of all the ways people connect to
the Internet: Young people have many options
to connect to the Internet beyond a home
computer. Phones, tablets, gaming systems
and even TVs have become connected. Be
aware of all the ways and devices (including
what they do at friend’s houses) your children
are using and be sure they know how to use
them safely and responsibly.
• Talk to other parents: When and how you
decide to let your children use the Internet is a
personal parenting decision. Knowing what
other parents are thinking and allowing their
children to do is important and can be helpful
for making decisions about what your children
do online.
• Know the rules: Not all online services are for
kids. Even some of the most popular social
networking services and other sites are meant
only for use by people 13 and older. There are
many terrific sites designed specifically for
younger children that provide a safer, more
secure and age-appropriate environment.
• Stay current. Keep pace with new ways to stay
safe online: The online world is ever changing.
New services with great features continually
emerge. Knowing about them and how young
people use them can help you better
understand the digital life your children
experience as well as any concerns you may
have for your children.
• Consider separate accounts on your
computer: Most operating systems allow you to
create a different account for each user.
Separate accounts can lessen the chance that
your child might accidentally access, modify,
change settings and/or delete your files. You
can set up certain privileges (the things that
can and can’t be done) for each account.
