    A single 0–100 number that tells you how protected your home is, and exactly what to do to raise it.

    Review what your apps and social accounts share about your family, and tighten it up in minutes.

Built on a book, not on buzzwords

CyberShield is based on Cybersecurity for Everyday Peopleby Greg Tomchick. Every fix in the app maps back to a chapter, so you always know the “why” behind each step, not just a list of chores.
