Safer Internet Day is a very important event aimed at raising awareness about the safe use of information and communication technology on the internet. Cyberattacks have become more frequent and advanced, with the most common form of these attacks being through fake emails or websites that request personal information such as passwords, bank account details, social media credentials, etc.

To protect yourself and your children from these risks, it is important to be informed about online security practices, be cautious with personal information, and use applications that ensure security. Additionally, monitoring your children's online activities is crucial to ensure their safety.

Methods to Protect Yourself Online:
Awareness and Education:
Attend conferences, courses, or seminars about cybersecurity and stay informed about the latest and most common risks and how to protect yourself from them.

Use Strong Passwords:
The passwords you use should be long, include different characters, and be complex. Do not use the same password for multiple accounts.

Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication):
Activate two-factor authentication for your important accounts. This means that in addition to your password, another method (such as a code sent to your phone) will be required to access your account.

Install Antivirus and Antimalware Programs:
Install and regularly update antivirus and antimalware software to detect harmful programs on your devices.

Be Careful with Emails and Websites:
Do not open suspicious emails or websites. Verify the email address and content before clicking on anything or downloading any harmful documents or files.

Regularly Back Up Your Data:
Keep your data backed up in a secure location to restore it in case of a cyberattack.

These are just a few basic steps you can take to protect yourself from cybersecurity risks. Let’s work together to create a safer internet for everyone, and ensure that the digital world is a safer place for our children, where they can develop their skills, express their creativity, and learn to become creators of technology, not just users.
