Microsoft Corp. today announced the kickoff of the Get Net Safe tour in Phoenix, which is designed to help people learn how to become more safe and secure on the Internet. The multiple-stop tour with events Aug. 2224 in Phoenix, the East Valley and the West Valley will give children, teens, parents, business owners and people over 50 the opportunity to participate in unique forums about how to be better protected online.
A recent study conducted by Microsoft and RT Strategies Inc. (http://www.rtstrategies.com) found that although 74 percent of respondents believe they have the skills to protect themselves online, more than half (57 percent) are not sure they know enough to effectively protect their information.
The Get Net Safe tour events will provide resources for people to understand how to help protect their PCs, themselves, their businesses and their families online, so they can realize the full potential of the Internet, said Jack Braman, general manager of the Phoenix-based Desert Mountain District at Microsoft.
