Key Capabilities / Features

According to Moonlock’s Mac Security Survey (https://moonlock.com/mac-security-survey-2023), 52% of Mac users expressed their need to speak with a qualified professional about safety measures online. One-third said it’s hard for them to find a reliable source of cybersecurity information. So, cybersecurity is still perceived as something complicated and hard to understand.


That’s why Moonlock launched Cybersecuritoons covering Cybersecurity 101 within only six minutes. The video series explains the basics to everyone who is not very familiar with the topic but still is concerned about threats and wants to learn more.


Moonlock believes that using the language of animation it is easier and more interesting to provide information to the user and to place the necessary accents. Moreover, such content is well remembered. By combining expert information and animation, Moonlock managed to explain to the user the consequences of their actions on the Internet in a simple, clear and funny way.


To package that information into a simple, non-boring form, videos were designed by Ukrainian animation studio — Animagrad, the creators of the globally known “Mavka: The Forest Song.”


During the first week after launch, Cybersecuritoons got more than 20,000 views on YouTube and more than 200,000 overall audience reach. Cybersecuritoons were mentioned in the Freelancers Union Blog, drawing freelancers’ attention to their and their customers’ digital safety - https://blog.freelancersunion.org/2023/12/05/watch-cartoons-to-protect-your-digital-life/
