Think about your online activities, such as banking, shopping, or browsing the internet. Your personal data, including account details and credit card information, are at risk of cyberthreats. Criminals can use this data for malicious purposes, such as stealing your money or committing fraud in your name.

As an EU citizen, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) guarantees you a right to privacy. The presence of cybercrime threatens this right.

In the EU, where cross-border digital transactions are common, cybersecurity ensures safety and secures communication against misinformation.

Just as you safeguard your home, it's vital to protect your digital presence. This training helps you understand how you can defend yourself against cybersecurity threats.
