QUESTION 6 OF 25

Is anything online safe?

This is a general question that seeks your opinion about online security. While technology has provided the world with many advantages, these are accompanied by security issues and threats to the privacy of the information people share across the network. When answering this question, you should be realistic about the number of threats people are exposed to while operating online but also optimistic about the prospect of protecting individuals and organizations from the treats.

"There are a great number of threats online and people who take advantage of individuals and organizations who use the web for communication and to conduct both business and personal transactions. Overall, I believe the Internet is safe. Companies have gone to great lengths to provide security to their users and have hired teams of people like me to stay up to date on emerging threats. The key to operating safely online is to be vigilant, use well-tested security practices, and assume everything you put online could be compromised. Good behavior will trump good security every time."
