For Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2025, Bitwarden and ResearchScape surveyed over 1,000 US parents of children aged 2 to 20. The results indicate a significant disconnect between parents' concerns about online threats, especially those related to AI, and their actual security practices. Many parents recognize the risks of phishing and malware but often lack effective strategies to safeguard their families. Notably, children are accessing the internet at younger ages, with nearly 80% of kids aged 3-12 having their own internet-connected tablets. Gen Z parents are particularly worried about their children's safety online, with 80% fearing AI-related threats. However, their monitoring practices are often lacking. About 37% of these parents provide their children with full autonomy online, which correlates with higher rates of malware infections and unauthorized purchases in their households. While 98% of Gen Z parents claim to have discussed online safety with their kids, this conversation doesn't translate into consistent monitoring or protective actions. Parents' own security habits also contribute to household vulnerabilities. A staggering 72% of Gen Z adults reuse passwords, despite acknowledging the risks. Many don't utilize password managers or VPNs, and only 16% of families use shared vaults for secure credential management. The rise of generative AI has made scams more sophisticated, yet 43% of parents haven't discussed how to identify these threats with their children. While 78% express concern about AI scams, the gap between awareness and action remains significant.
