Welcome to The Smarter Online Safety Show with your host Jocelyn King — here to help you get smarter and safer online! 💻🔒

In this National Cybersecurity Awareness Month special, Jocelyn breaks down one of the most overlooked risks in online safety — your home network.

You already lock your doors and windows to protect your physical home, but what about your digital castle?

In this episode, you’ll learn: ✅Why your Wi-Fi network is the “drawbridge” to your digital home ✅How outdated routers and default passwords make you an easy target ✅Why “password-protected” doesn’t mean “secure” ✅The critical importance of updating router software and changing passwords regularly ✅How to safely use public Wi-Fi (Starbucks, hotels, etc.) ✅Why a VPN helps protect your data while traveling ✅How to create separate networks for work, home, and smart devices

💡Think of this as your cybersecurity wake-up call.  Your devices may be locked — but if your network’s drawbridge is down, hackers can walk right in.
