STAY CYBER SAFE
Our mission: Empowering Seniors to Stay
Secure Online
Designing Safe Digital Futures Together
As technology becomes part of everyday life, cybercrime is rising too. At StayCyberSafe, we empower seniors with practical, engaging cybersecurity education grounded in design thinking. With creativity, collaboration, and empathy, anyone can confidently stay safe online.
The Issue
$4.8 billion in losses
Seniors over the age of 50 lost $4.8 billion to cybercrime in 2024, with a dramatic 43% increase in just one year.
​
Increasingly Targeted
Seniors are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals due to their greater trust in unfamiliar contacts, limited digital experience, and access to financial resources.
Higher losses
They also suffer significantly higher financial losses per incident compared to younger victims.
​
​
Demographic
This is a problem likely to worsen as this demographic is expected to double in the next few decades.

Designing safer digital experiences:
a human-centered approach to cyber safety
Empathize and Research
We listen to seniors’ real-life challenges with technology—
like confusing emails, password fatigue, or privacy concerns.
Ideate
Together, we brainstorm creative ways to stay safe: memory
tools for passwords, checklists for suspicious links, or apps
seniors actually enjoy using.
​Prototype
Participants help design their own cybersecurity tools—like
custom guides, safety checklists, or alert cards—with simple
materials or apps like Canva.
Test
We role-play real scenarios and test our solutions together—
learning what works and how to improve.
