At digitalLIFT, we know that helping new internet users navigate the online world safely is more important than ever. From scams and fraud to malware, the digital landscape can feel overwhelming, especially for those just getting started. That’s why we’ve developed resources and training designed to build confidence, awareness, and safety online.
