We can no longer imagine life without the internet today, but unfortunately, modern technologies also have a dark side. Cyberattacks, which are on the rise, pose increasing threats to the economy, state institutions, and individuals. They can even jeopardize national security, as all modern conflicts also have a cyber dimension.

A cyber incident could happen to me, you, or anyone, which is why Dr. Svete emphasizes in the podcast that not everything online is safe. Trust, but verify. We must also be mindful of disinformation, which often follows as the next phase of a cyberattack. Just as we learned the rules of road safety, security should become an inseparable part of using technology.

You are invited to listen to and watch the podcast.

The Safe on the Internet program is run by the national cyber security response center SI-CERT, operating under the public institute Arnes. SI-CERT serves as the national contact point, fulfilling a mediating and advisory role, and also coordinates the public awareness program on information security.
