Thursday, September 2, 2021

PRAGUE, Sept. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Avast (LSE:AVST), a global leader in digital security and privacy, has found that while nine out of ten people say the internet is important to their life, online confidence decreases with age. This lack of confidence leads to less time spent online, causing missed opportunities for digital citizens to explore the internet fully. This research forms part of a comprehensive global study with YouGov and Forsa into global digital citizenship trends.

Key Points:

The findings point towards a direct correlation between this time spent online and online confidence.
"It is positive to see such high levels of online confidence reported," said Jaya Baloo, Chief Information Security Officer at Avast.
"However, we cannot ignore the differences we see in this confidence and we need to keep older demographics in mind when it comes to digital education.
These online concerns are holding many people back from doing things online such as online banking or engaging on social media.
