The Student Activities Division at the College of Media organized an extensive awareness campaign regarding the importance of cybersecurity and methods for protecting data and administrative systems within government institutions. This initiative aligns with the College's efforts to enhance digital awareness and foster a culture of safe technology and online platform usage.
The campaign underscores the importance of safeguarding the digital environment and ensuring the integrity of academic and administrative data. It aims to raise awareness about the risks of cyberattacks, data breaches, and information leaks, while promoting adherence to secure practices when using electronic devices, networks, and systems.
The campaign highlighted that cybersecurity is a cornerstone of secure digital transformation in educational and government institutions—particularly given the ongoing expansion in the use of online platforms and digital systems to manage student affairs, personnel, and administrative operations.
In this context, the Dean of the College of Media, Prof. Dr. Maad Assi Ali, noted that the growing reliance on digital systems necessitates raising cybersecurity awareness among administrative and technical staff and reinforcing commitment to data protection measures. These steps help mitigate the risks of breaches and cyberattacks while preserving the security of institutional information.
The campaign emphasized that cybersecurity is a shared responsibility requiring continuous awareness and responsible digital behavior from all members of the institution, thereby fostering a safer and more reliable digital environment.
