Safer Internet Day takes place on 6 February and is dedicated to promoting the responsible and safe use of online technology, especially among young people and underserved communities. It aims to raise awareness of risks online and encourages individuals to contribute to creating a better and safer internet for all.
To engage the DTC Initiative community in this global effort, ITU and Cisco have launched a campaign in which the DTCs can participate to increase awareness and skills relating to cybersecurity and empower everyone to be safe online.
The self-paced course “Introduction to cybersecurity” was made available on the Cisco Skills for All platform for each DTC. The course will be shared with DTC trainers, trainees, and those who fall within the DTCI target groups to encourage them to enhance their knowledge and skills on cybersecurity.
The course will be available from 6 February using the Safer Internet Day as a launch for the course, until 29 February.
"Introduction to cybersecurity" can be accessed through the DTC-country landing pages below:
