Raise awareness and engage

To protect systems and computer networks, not only are technical protection measures necessary, but each user must use them responsibly. Those

system for cyberattacks. From the website www.safeonweb.be, the public
can get all the information about specific threats, how to recognize them
and how to protect themselves or respond.
The internet belongs to and is for everyone. Its safety is also a shared effort.
Therefore, the population is urged to participate in security. For example,
anyone can forward suspicious emails to suspicious@safeonweb.be.

frames it through European initiatives. The European cybersecurity agency
the ENISA organizes European Cybersecurity Month every October.
Through good collaborations, contact between citizens and quality service providers in cybersecurity in our country should be facilitated. Such
streamlined contact should enable citizens to address security incidents
and neutralize problems.
Raising awareness also has a direct impact on the business community and
creates a general culture of concern and safety. Awareness campaigns,
such as through webinars, guides or the cybersecurity KIT, should be
further deployed.
