October is the Cyber Security Awareness Month. The month is being commemorated under the theme “Secure Our World”. Cybersecurity Awareness Month, aims to educate individuals and organizations about the importance of cybersecurity..
The concept revolves around promoting safe online practices, sharing knowledge about potential threats, and encouraging proactive measures to protect personal and sensitive information. As part of our ongoing activities to commemorate the month we visited Nyasa International Academy with the aim of enriching the young learners with the necessary skills to safely navigate the digital spaces.
The team from MACRA made presentations on good cyber hygiene practices and the offenses as pertaining to cyber crimes. The management of Nyasa International Academy was grateful to the Authority for the timely presentation especially on issues of cyber harassment and bullying as this is a rampant problem among the youth on digital platforms..
