Think Your Home Network Is Safe? Think Again — How to Truly Secure Your Wi-Fi

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✅How outdated routers and default passwords make you an easy target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.
