Cyber hygiene, raising awareness of cybersecurity topics, and encouraging critical thinking from a young age is essential to equipping youth with the tools needed to face the challenge of technology and digitalisation for their future life, both as end user and professionally. ECSO’s Youth4Cyber initiative aims at educating and raising the awareness of young people (6 to 26-year olds) on cybersecurity with two objectives:
1. To raise the level of cyber hygiene and understanding of core cybersecurity concepts.
2. To stimulate an interest in a career in cybersecurity among the European youth.
Youth4Cyber engages in and supports initiatives aimed at presenting cybersecurity to youth with stimulating content on cyber hygiene, basic cybersecurity concepts and information on different possible career paths in cyber.
