The problem is that our customers are overwhelmed with the effort it takes to consistently implement the best digital security practices. Whether remembering long passphrases, keeping software up to date, or verifying each website, you visit, there is always something to look out for in the digital security sphere. Complex security standards create disdain for users' security and cyber hygiene in general. There is a knowledge gap in cyber hygiene for many people; however, it was more apparent that people ignored security practices despite knowing they should be implemented. A big chunk of the problem is not implementing these practices due to apathy. To assist users with the cumbersome amount of digital security practices, we have designed a solution that focuses on helping customers of all age groups better protect themselves.

 Consequences of this problem include compromised accounts, increased susceptibility to scams, and loss of personal information. The loss of personal information in data breaches is substantial. Medical records, credit card numbers, and social security numbers forever leaked to the dark web. Users fall for phishing emails and have their computers infected. Once the pain has been inflicted, there is no taking it back. There is no retrieving your personal information once it is stolen digitally. You can only merely hope that no one successfully steals your identity.

 This is a universal problem that affects everyone, as most people have experienced feeling overwhelmed when dealing with technology and neglecting cyber hygiene practices due to this inconvenience. Users are faced with increasing updates and new software being released; it has become hard to manage it all effectively. This creates frustration with the user to the point of apathetic security standards. Due to this frustration, our team heard anecdotes of users joining insecure Wi-Fi networks without protection or creating bad passwords to complete tasks quickly. Our product aims to relieve users of the pressure of implementing various security practices but doing it for them. Humans have other priorities in their lives besides worrying about digital security.  

To address this problem, our proposed solution is to create an easy-to-use machine that combines the best security standards and is suitable for all age groups. It is essential for our product to be ideal for all age groups because intruders do not discriminate against age when causing disruption. The younger age group is vulnerable because their social media presence is expanding more security is required. Likewise, adults struggle with cybersecurity because they lack knowledge or are ill-advised on what's attacking their digital information, making them targets. A problem that stems from a lack of cybersecurity knowledge is that they are clueless when they become cyber-attack victims.
