In the digital age we live in, cybersecurity represents one of the fundamental pillars for individual and collective security. With the growing reliance on technology for our daily activities, personal data protection and online security have become universal concerns.
However, not all Internet users have the same ability to defend themselves from online threats, making some categories more vulnerable than others. It is in this context that an important initiative takes place which sees the Cyber Security Italy Foundation as protagonists, the first non-profit foundation in Italy dedicated to the cyber world, and us at Capodarco Formazione Impresa Sociale.
The agreement represents a significant example of how collaboration between organizations with common goals can lead to highly valuable initiatives, especially when it comes to promoting the safety and digital inclusion of vulnerable groups.
Training in cybersecurity, as highlighted by Marco Gabriele Proietti – founder and President of the foundation – it is not just a question of acquiring technical skills to defend oneself from online threats; it is also an important tool of emancipation. In fact, allowing people with disabilities to understand and manage the risks associated with the use of the Internet and digital technologies promotes their inclusion in the digital society, while strengthening their autonomy and personal safety.
The topics covered in the courses, such as the correct use of methods of access to IT resources and the conscious use of social networks, are fundamental for navigating safely in an increasingly connected world.
The commitment of the Cyber Security Italy Foundation will also translate into concrete support, with the donation of IT tools such as tablets and computers, to be used in our classes, adding tangible value to the initiative.
This is an important step forward in promoting safe and informed access to digital technologies, demonstrating how specific and targeted training can make a difference in protecting and including those most at risk of digital exclusion.
The project will be presented on 9 April 2024 in the Press Room of the Chamber of Deputies by invitation only.
