About me
My name is Tetiana (Tania) Martynenko. I work in cybersecurity, focusing on protecting systems and identifying risks such as vulnerabilities and online threats.
Today, I am building AsterPoint™ , a company that helps businesses stay safe online and improve their technology using simple automation and smart security tools.
Over time, I realized that many of the same threats I deal with professionally are directly affecting everyday people - especially seniors.
Why I Am Doing This
I created Stay Safe Seniors because I saw how often older adults are targeted by scams.
Many of these scams are designed to create fear, urgency, or confusion. Without clear information, it can be difficult to know what is real and what is not.
I wanted to create a simple and trustworthy resource where seniors and their families can learn how to stay safe.
This website is built to make security understandable, practical, and accessible to everyone.
