Neha Agarwal
Neha Agarwal is the founder of CyberVedKids, an innovative
educational initiative that transforms complex cybersecurity concepts into
engaging, age-appropriate adventures for children aged 4–10. With her unique
background leading cybersecurity services for Vodafone and serving as an expert
panel advisor on Internet Matters, Neha brings corporate-grade cybersecurity
expertise to little people.
Through character-driven storytelling featuring Cyber Ved
and his friends at Bushy Park Primary, Neha makes online safety accessible and
fun for young learners. Her approach combines superhero narratives with
practical lessons on password security, privacy, the "Ask First"
rule, and digital citizenship—empowering children with lifelong digital
wellness habits from the very start of their digital journey.
Drawing from her extensive experience protecting major
corporations, Neha understands the evolving threat landscape and translates
enterprise-level security principles into age-appropriate, empowering lessons
for children. Her work with Internet Matters as an expert panel advisor further
demonstrates her commitment to creating safer digital spaces for young people.
Neha's mission is to build online safety as an intuition
from an early age—just like we teach children "stranger danger" or
"look right, look left" before crossing the road. She believes in
giving children a helmet to protect them as they navigate the digital world,
making safety second nature rather than an afterthought. Online safety
education should begin alongside foundational skills like reading and
playing—building confidence and awareness rather than fear.
CyberVedKids serves parents, educators, nurseries,
libraries, and schools through books, activity sheets, and planned video
content. Neha's educational framework, including the EARS method (Empower,
Approachable, Repeat) and the "$4 Cyber Shield" (Spot, Stop, Share,
Shield), provides practical tools for adults to reinforce online safety lessons
in relatable, non-threatening ways.
Through CyberVedKids, Neha is on a mission to make every
child a confident, safe digital citizen—one adventure at a time.
