Turn the tables on cybercriminals. Keep your loved ones safe. We live much of our personal and professional lives online, but fraudsters and hackers have made the internet dangerous. Cyberattacks are the US's fastest growing crime: consumers lost more than $6.9 billion to fraud in 2021, up more than 50% from 2020; financial losses from online theft surpassed losses from home theft; 1 in 10 people become identity theft victims annually, including more than 1 million children.

Intelligent Safety: How to Protect Your Connected Family from Big Cybercrime teaches how we can put our families' online safety on autopilot and regain our peace of mind. It provides families with the tools and knowledge they need to create a personalized, proactive defense against cybercriminals. From identifying the risks of your teen's secret online life to safeguarding your family finances to defending the vulnerabilities of your aging parents, Intelligent Safety is the last guide you'll need to beat cyber predators at their own game.Product Details

About the Author
Hari Ravichandran is an engineer, entrepreneur, technologist, philanthropist, and the CEO and founder of Aura, a digital safety unicorn. In 2014, Hari was hacked. The resulting damage to his credit caused Hari and his family to be denied a mortgage for a home. Following his burdensome experience repairing his "digital life" and securing his assets in "real life," Hari was determined to make the internet a safer place for everyone else, so no one would need to suffer the damages he and his family had. Hari is named on more than 40 approved or pending technology patents, has been named EY's Entrepreneur of the Year for New England and a Forbes most powerful CEO under 40, and frequently speaks at major conferences like SXSW and Collision. He holds a BS in computer engineering from Mississippi State and an MBA from the Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania.
Reviews
"I'm always on the lookout for forward-thinking approaches to the challenges that come with the rapid advancements in technology. I recommend Intelligent Safety to anyone looking to take back control of their online footprint. The book not only provides practical advice on how to reduce your family's risk, but also explores the tech innovations that will protect families from future threats."
--Patrick Moorhead, Founder, CEO and Chief Analyst, Moor Insights & Strategy, and #1 ranked technology analyst "If you have a phone in your pocket, you need to read this book. There's no question that technology is critical to daily life. It's not going anywhere. But the way we use our devices exposes our families to exceptional risk. With Intelligent Safety, Hari Ravichandran empowers American families to protect themselves online. His insights will simply make you safer."
--Sujay Jaswa, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, WndrCo, Former Head of Business & CFO, Dropbox "Cybercrime is on the rise. But the technologies offered to consumers have failed to provide the simplicity and usability that is required for wide-spread adoption. Hari identified that gap in the market and, through Intelligent Safety, he spotlights the opportunity to use the latest innovations in technology--AI and machine learning--to reinvigorate the category, addressing the historical blockers and protecting families."
