February 3, 2026A smart tool for everyday online life
Cyber problems rarely come with a warning.
One day, everything seems fine. The next, you’re confronted with a strange email, locked account, or suspicious charge.
In those moments, having clear, trusted guidance matters. Instead of searching the internet or relying on bad advice, turn to the Cyber Survival Guide.
Created by the National Cybersecurity Alliance, this free resource removes the guesswork in stressful online situations. It offers clear, practical steps you can take to avoid common mistakes and limit damage.
Stay safe online by being prepared
Like an adventure manual, the Cyber Survival Guide prepares you for common threats. It offers guidance you can consult in real time or review before problems arise.
But instead of physical dangers, it protects you from online incidents.
Users can click through different situations, from phishing attempts to compromised accounts. Each section offers real-world scenarios and step-by-step responses written in plain, straightforward language.
For example, imagine a virus has infected your computer. The guide offers six clear directives such as running a system scan or deleting temporary files.
In every situation, you know exactly what to do next from discovery to resolution. It also helps you recognize warning signs sooner and build habits that reduce your risk.
Everyday emergency response
Cyber threats affect everyone using email, social media, online banking, and more. When an incident happens, stress and confusion can make things worse.
The Cyber Survival Guide can be your digital safety net. It’s a small step to help you feel more prepared, more informed, and more in control of your digital life.
