A Special Focus on Seniors
Tish Kemp, Kinetic’s Marketing Operations Coordinator, emphasizes that the program is particularly beneficial for senior citizens, the demographic most targeted by cyber scammers. She shares, “During every local, in-person presentation, participants have shared personal stories about how they, or someone they know, has fallen victim to scams. This shows us that education and awareness are crucial in protecting our seniors from malicious actors.”

Over the past two years, Kinetic has organized over 150 hands-on presentations, engaging hundreds of residents across its extensive 18-state service area. Attendees can participate in these informative sessions and also access on-demand courses, allowing them to learn at their own pace from the comfort of their homes.
