The concepts of cybersecurity and digital safety overlap closely. The former (cybersecurity) is a key pillar of achieving digital safety, and digital safety can be considered a direct result of applying cybersecurity principles. Today, the importance of digital safety and cybersecurity is growing day by day, as they serve as a shield against the threats associated with the use of the Internet, the application of digitization, artificial intelligence, and the data revolution in all aspects of life. This enhances the safe and positive use of technology and supports the concepts of digital quality of life.
The principles of cybersecurity and digital safety include a set of policies and procedures aimed at protecting and protecting electronic systems and data from increasing cyber threats, through several technologies that may include, for example: anti-virus programs, firewalls, software updates, and others.
The National Initiative for Digital Safety has focused on incorporating cybersecurity and digital safety principles into its tracks for readable content and educational and training awareness audio and video production, by producing a guide to digital safety risks and electronic gaming applications for mobile phones and tablets that helps the various targeted segments of the initiative on how to technically deal with the Internet and electronic applications, ensuring that cybersecurity is included among the initiative's priorities when connecting to the Internet or smart technological applications This establishes digital safety among these groups, in attractive educational and entertainment formats.
The initiative also produced awareness videos that address various topics in cybersecurity and digital safety, such as: personal cyber protection, basic principles of digital safety, controls for using the Internet, and the production of awareness brochures explaining how to deal safely with the Internet and smart devices and proper behavior in the event of a cyber attack or electronic hacking, and the most important tips that ensure the maximum possible protection for phones and tablets, which establishes digital safety among these groups.
