MARCH 10, 2026 / DALLAS, TX

The Savvy Cyber Kids Cyberhero Awards is our new annual fundraiser to bring together the cybersecurity community in support of educating and empowering today’s youth to make appropriate decisions as they grow up online. The Awards are an opportunity to connect with others and recognize those children in various age groups that exemplify what it means to be a Savvy Cyber Kid in their community, in both the physical and virtual worlds.

Savvy Cyber Kids, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to enable youth, families, and school communities to be empowered by technology, recognizes that children may be Digital Natives but are also “Digital Naives,” who, without intervention, completely lack understanding of the implications of their digital actions. Founded in 2007 by noted speaker and author Ben Halpert, Savvy Cyber Kids resources are used in 50 states and 54 countries around the world to help parents and teachers educate today’s youth on cyber safety and cyber ethics topics of cyberbullying, digital reputation, technology and screen-time balance, mental health, body and self-image, physical safety, sexting, privacy, gaming, child sexual predators, and more starting at 3 years old.
