TechGuard October: Free Cybersecurity Checks, Tech Workshops & E-Waste Recycling | King IT

At King IT, we’re thrilled to announce CyberSafe October, a month-long campaign focused on keeping both your digital life secure and the environment sustainable. As we celebrate National Cybersecurity Month and prepare for International E-Waste Day on October 13th, we’re bringing you exclusive offers that highlight our commitment to protecting your devices and our planet.

Here’s what’s in store this October:

Complimentary Cyber Shield Checks: Guard Your Devices

We’re living in a time where everything from personal banking to family photos is stored digitally. That’s why safeguarding your devices is more important than ever. Throughout October, King IT is offering free device security checks for all customers.

These checks provide a thorough review of your device’s security, ensuring it’s protected from online threats like malware, viruses, and phishing scams. Our trained team will assess key areas such as software updates, antivirus protection, and password security to help you feel confident in your device’s digital health.

How Does It Work? Simply drop into any King IT store and mention the offer to redeem your free health check. We’ll provide advice on any necessary improvements and recommend security solutions tailored to your device’s needs, whether that’s setting up a password manager or enabling two-factor authentication.

This offer is perfect for anyone who wants to ensure their devices are safe, secure, and running smoothly — and it’s completely free!

Tech Safety Lessons: Stay Ahead of Cyber Threats

The world of technology is constantly evolving, and so are the risks that come with it. Whether you’re a parent wanting to protect your family’s devices or a business owner ensuring your data is secure, staying informed is crucial.

Our Tech Safety Lessons offer a comprehensive guide to cybersecurity, helping you stay ahead of online threats. From recognizing phishing emails to securing home networks, these lessons cover it all. Plus, we’re offering a special discounted rate this October—just $29 per month or $49 for a one-off session.

We believe that knowledge is power, and by educating our customers, we’re building a stronger, more secure community. So whether you’re tech-savvy or just getting started, our workshops will give you the confidence you need to navigate the digital world safely.

E-Waste Recycling Drive: Make a Difference This October

In addition to protecting your digital life, King IT is also committed to protecting our environment. This month, we’re hosting an E-Waste Recycling Drive, encouraging customers to bring in their old and unused electronics for responsible recycling.

Why is This Important?

E-waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world, and improper disposal can have harmful effects on both human health and the environment. Many devices contain toxic materials that can contaminate soil and water, but recycling ensures these materials are disposed of safely — and, in many cases, reused in new products.

We accept electronic devices like smartphones, laptops, and tablets. Unfortunately, we’re unable to accept larger appliances such as ovens or TVs, but we can help direct you to appropriate disposal options for those items.

International E-Waste Day: October 13th Mark your calendars for October 13th — International E-Waste Day. This global initiative raises awareness about the importance of properly disposing of electronics and highlights how recycling can reduce the impact of e-waste on the environment. At King IT, we’re proud to contribute to this important cause.

How You Can Help: By participating in our E-Waste Recycling Drive, you’ll be doing more than just clearing out clutter. You’ll be making a direct impact on the environment, contributing to the reduction of harmful waste. Plus, any working phones or laptops you donate will go towards charitable initiatives like DV Safe Phone — providing essential communication tools for individuals in need — and Teacher in a Box, which supports educational programs with refurbished laptops.

Added Benefits

• Data Security: We ensure that all data on donated devices is securely wiped by DV Safe Phone volunteers and Teacher in a Box staff, giving you peace of mind that your personal information won’t fall into the wrong hands.
• Convenience: Drop off your devices at any King IT store. It’s a hassle-free way to make a positive impact, and you’ll walk away knowing you’ve contributed to a greener future.

Device Refurbishment and Trade-Ins: Go Green, Save Green

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we’re also offering customers the chance to trade in, repair, or recycle their devices responsibly. This means you can upgrade your tech while ensuring your old devices don’t end up in landfill. It’s a win-win: you save money while reducing your carbon footprint.

Why TechGuard October Matters

CyberSafe October is about more than just protecting devices and recycling old ones. It’s about fostering a secure, informed, and connected community. By taking part in our free cybersecurity checks, workshops, and e-waste recycling drive, you’re joining a movement towards a safer, more sustainable future.
