Besides children and students, the state will also focus on educating other selected target groups, specifically educators and civil servants. Educators are a key building block of the education system, and providing them with knowledge about cyber security is necessary to develop information literacy among children and students, as well as the teachers themselves as citizens. This will significantly help the education system adapt to this topic. Educating civil servants will contribute towards greater resiliency to cyber threats among public administration bodies. End users are a popular target for cyberattacks. In this respect, the Czech Republic must be able to provide the appropriate support for specially educated experts to contribute towards improving national cyber security as well as to educate and raise awareness in other relevant groups. Elderly people are another important population segment exposed to the negative impacts of modern technologies. They need to be educated, especially in the safe use of digital technologies and in recognizing disinformation. Besides the elderly, other high-risk groups across generations also need to be educated, which will require specific targeting. Other educational activities will continue to include either broadly or narrowly targeted awareness campaigns. The responsible state bodies, with contributions from the private, academic, and non-profit sectors, will significantly help spread cyber security awareness. These campaigns will not just increase awareness about cyber security, but will also build trust through their open nature familiarizing and describing the activities of state bodies as well as those in the private and academic sectors.
