Cyberama brings serious fun to complex computer science and cybersecurity subjects, like:

  • Password Strength
  • Social Engineering
  • Malware
  • Phishing
  • Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
  • Internet Security
  • Cyberbullying

Cyberama is designed to be your biggest tool in the defense against cyber threats, big and small! This middle grade adventure book is ideal for beginner internet users.
