e-Security

eSecurity is a term used to describe using the internet in a way that prevents others from attacking or accessing online information without the owner's permission. Trusted sites are ones that are encrypted. You can see if a site is secure by checking the URL bar. If a site is safe it will have an image of a lock. This means the site is encrypted and the information cannot be hacked by others.
