These individuals bring a wealth of experience in cybersecurity, education, and technology. James Azar, a dedicated cybersecurity practitioner and CISO, stated, “As a father, cybersecurity practitioner, and advocate for creating a safer digital environment for all children, I was compelled to join the board of Savvy Cyber Kids.”

Anne-Marie Brockwell, Account Executive at Microsoft, is a seasoned education leader with a deep commitment to empowering learners and advancing digital citizenship. Jason Cenamor, Founder of Confide Group and The CISO Society, possesses a passion for relationship building, networking, and providing an environment for security leaders to connect and learn from one another.

Nelson Soares, Founder & CEO of C-Vision International and CEO of NS Advisory Group Inc., is a dynamic entrepreneur and executive with deep expertise in leadership, consulting, and go-to-market strategy.

Savvy Cyber Kids enables youth, families, and school communities to be empowered by technology by providing age-appropriate cyber safety, cyber ethics, and digital parenting resources and education starting at three years old. The organization’s mission is to recognize that children may be Digital Natives but are also “Digital Naives”, who, without intervention, completely lack understanding of the implications of their digital actions.

Ben Halpert, Founder of Savvy Cyber Kids, stated, “Our children are frontline warriors pitted against threats delivered by today’s latest technology they can’t even comprehend.” He emphasized the importance of educating young children starting at age three, citing the reality of youth sextortion-related suicide, AI suicide encouragement, and 24/7 cyberbullying.

They are grateful for the ongoing support of their sponsors, including CISO Horizon, C-Vision International, VIPRE Security Group, PWC US, Yass Partners, and SecurityScorecard. The appointment of new board members is expected to expand the organization’s reach and support its mission.

Savvy Cyber Kids resources are used in 50 states and 54 countries around the world to help parents and teachers educate today’s youth on cyber safety and cyber ethics topics. The organization’s dedicated team looks forward to continuing its work in shaping human behaviors to build individual resilience and promoting responsible internet use, focusing on healthcare delivery and safety.

The new board members will play a significant role in helping Savvy Cyber Kids achieve its goals, and their collective experience will be invaluable in supporting the organization’s mission to empower youth, families, and school communities through technology.
