Cybersecurity experts at Check Point Software explain that in an increasingly digitalized world, educating all users on cyber threats, no matter their age, is critical
DUBAI, UAE – On Technology Education Day, Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions globally, shares its top advice on cybersecurity skills for young people. Technology Education Day assumes more significance than ever as so much course work and classroom teaching relies on digital platforms. No matter what field of study they choose, be it engineering or business, there is no way students can progress without embracing technology. However, with this increase in tech across all sectors, also comes increased risk of cyberattack. In UAE, all organizations experienced an average of 979 cyberattacks over the last six months.
So, Check Point Software explains the cybersecurity skills that each student should have, depending on their age group:
“Cybersecurity education is becoming more and more important, as it will not only be useful for people working in the sector, but it will be crucial for everyone’s day-to-day life. Everything is becoming more digitalized and any action we take will carry dangers both in our work and in our private lives”, explains Ram Narayanan, Country Manager at Check Point Software Technologies, Middle East. “Today’s children are technology natives, so let’s give them the tools to feel safe in a fast-changing environment where they spend most of their day”.
