Empowering the Next Generation of Cybersafe Kids in Singapore

At Palo Alto Networks, we believe protecting our digital way of life is a privilege, and with that privilege, we strive to educate the world on all aspects of cybersecurity to help keep everyone safe online. Cybersecurity education should start from a young age and extend into older adulthood, instead of being limited to industry insiders and those pursuing the field.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Cyberlite Books for this children’s book - specially designed to equip them with an understanding of how to protect their own digital futures. An initiative supported by the Media Literacy Council and in support of the Digital for Life movement, the partnership with Cyberlite Books is aimed to provide over 10,000 cybersafety workbooks and make the Palo Alto Networks Cyber A.C.E.S.. – Activities in Cybersecurity Education for Students – program available as training materials for teachers and parents.

We also extended our partnership with the National Library Board in organising a virtual workshop for families across Singapore. The educational program sets the stage for building a safer online world for the whole family and help them understand the five core topics of cybersafety:

• Digital wellbeing and citizenship

• Password Protection

• Cyberbullying

• Phishing

• Fake news

We further held a similar virtual workshop for our customers and their family members ‘Protecting Your Family Online’. We aim to demystify cybersecurity through interactive learning, equipping kids ages 5 to 15 with an understanding of how to protect their digital future. Cyber A.C.E.S. provides the cybersecurity basics students need to have safer online experiences and become good digital citizens. Lessons are designed so they can be facilitated by anyone, regardless of their knowledge level, with each module tailored to a specific age group.

In celebration of Children’s Day, we collaborated with Cyberlite Books to conduct another cybersafety sharing session with our internal employees and their kids. It was an interactive and enriching session, and the children truly enjoyed themselves throughout the session.
