What we do
NetSavvy’s training packages and services are designed to help all internet users understand how to spot false information, keep their personal information private, and protect themselves and their loved ones against online scams and other cyberthreats. We don’t use complicated cybersecurity speak and technical jargon. We break it down and equip you with practical skills to improve your online privacy, safety and security.
We customise our workshops and consultations for a variety of internet and social media users – from teens, students, young adults and millennials to those who only started using the internet and social media in their 30s, 40s or later. Book a workshop or consultation for yourself, your employees, colleagues, students, family or group of friends.
