Together with Public Safety Canada, TELUS has launched the #BeAppSafe campaign to help Canadians learn how to secure their personal information stored on their mobile devices.
This is a great follow-up to the TELUS WISE programme that was launched about a year and a half ago, providing free Internet and smartphone safety education for Canadian families. Since its inception in 2013, TELUS has educated more than 500,000 people on how to stay safe online through TELUS WISE.
Get Cyber Safe is Public Safety Canada’s national awareness campaign created to raise awareness about Internet security and the simple steps Canadians can take to protect themselves online.
A series of practical and easy tips, such as turning off tracking apps, setting strong passwords and staying on top of permissions and privacy, is available at www.telus.com/wise.
The programmes are available to all Canadians, not just TELUS customers.
Cyber Security is going to be one of the topics we’re exploring at The 2015 Canadian Telecom Summit. Early bird rates are available for registrations completed by February 28.
