About Us
Our STORY
Founded in 2025, Elder-Tech Cyber was born out of a crucial need - protecting seniors in an increasingly digital world.
Recognising the lack of cybersecurity resources tailored to older adults, we saw an opportunity to bridge the gap and make a positive difference.
Our MISSION
At Elder-Tech Cyber, our mission is to empower seniors with the knowledge and skills to navigate the digital world safely and confidently.
Through education, protection and support, we help older adults safeguard their personal information.
We believe cybersecurity should be accessible to all, ensuring that every senior can stay connected, informed and secure in an increasingly digital world.
Our APPROACH
We know the digital world can feel a bit overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. Our mission is to make technology simple, approachable, and stress-free.
We break down essential topics like protecting your devices, creating strong passwords, and spotting suspicious emails, using easy-to-understand language.
Every session is designed specifically for older adults, with real-life examples and practical tips you can use right away.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to build confidence online, we’re here to help you stay safe, informed, and in control.
What we offer:
- Interactive workshops that teach key online safety skills, from recognising scams to securing your personal information.
- Personalised support in small, in-person sessions—perfect for hands-on learning in a friendly, judgment-free space.
