Personal Cybersecurity
A Practical Curriculum for Modern Digital Life (Levels 1–5)
Most people don’t fail at cybersecurity because they don’t care.
They fail because the information they’re given is fragmented, technical, or focused on the wrong things.
The Personal Cybersecurity Curriculum is a complete, structured learning system designed to build real understanding, real habits, and real resilience—without turning you into an IT professional.
This is not a collection of tips. It’s a progressive curriculum that teaches you how to think about security, how attacks actually work, and how to respond calmly when something goes wrong.
What This Is
A five-level curriculum that moves from awareness → understanding → action → resilience.
Each level builds on the last, guiding you through:
how the digital world actually fails
where people get caught
what protections truly matter
how to recover without panic
The result is a mental framework you can apply to phones, laptops, accounts, family members, and everyday decisions.
What You’ll Learn
Across Levels 1–5, you’ll learn:
What cybersecurity really means in daily life
Why everyday people are targeted—not just companies
How scams, public Wi-Fi, and manipulation actually work
How to secure accounts using modern tools (without jargon)
Why passwords fail and how to replace them properly
How to use 2FA, biometrics, and passkeys intelligently
How to protect devices and networks without overengineering
How to recognize compromise early and recover confidently
Each level includes:
learning objectives
clear explanations
practical checklists
“if you only do X” summaries
quizzes with answer keys
This is designed for understanding—not memorization.
Who This Is For
Individuals who want to take control of their digital life
Families who want shared rules and safer habits
Professionals who don’t want to rely on random advice
Anyone who wants clarity instead of fear-based security messaging
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by cybersecurity advice—or unsure what actually matters—this curriculum was built for you.
