Ben Halpert

Security executive by day, Cyber hero by night

Ben Halpert is a man on a mission: To foster appropriate decision-making by the world's children as they grow up with technology.

Ben comes by his passion and expertise honestly. By day, he is the VP, Risk and Corporate Security at Ionic Security. By night, he focuses on educating and empowering young digital citizens.

Through Savvy Cyber Kids, the 501(c)3 nonprofit organization he founded in 2007, Ben provides educational resources for teachers, parents, and children of all ages. Ben is the author of The Savvy Cyber Kids at Home series of children’s picture books, which have now been published in several languages. The series covers numerous topics that include an introduction to computing devices, security, privacy, bully response, screen-time balance, and other aspects of cyber ethics. For parents that are unable to attend one of Ben’s parent education sessions, Ben created the free video series RaisingSavvyCyberKids.org.

Ben is available for school author visits, training and awareness sessions for teachers and administrators, parent education sessions, and student focused sessions related to growing up with technology.

Ben is excited to be an invited presenter at the upcoming TEDxKids@Vilnius 2015!
