   International cooperation Information sharing Assessment of progress The national Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-MU) has also developed relationships with international CERTs and working groups in response to global cyber-threats. CERT-MU is also affiliated with Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) since May 2012. FIRST is the premier organisation and recognised global leader in incident response. Membership in FIRST enables incident response teams to be more effective in responding to security incidents as well as to be more proactive. 7.6 PRIORITY NO 6: CREATING AWARENESS BY EDUCATING CITIZENS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES The main purpose of cybercrime prevention is to ensure that information and education is made available to the public and businesses which will enable them to stay safe online. The best way to stop cybercrime is to prevent it from happening in the first place and as part of that the public and business needs to be provided with accurate, relevant information on how to keep themselves safe online and to secure their devices and data. Cybercrimes are easily carried out due to a lack of cybercrime awareness on the part of computer users, system/network administrators, technology developers, auditors, CIOs, CEOs and corporates. Apart from end users in organisations, common people or laymen must also be aware of the types of cybercrimes and how they can protect themselves. In this context, public education and awareness is significant. This can be achieved through the collaborative efforts of both the public and private sectors. The following initiatives are, therefore, proposed for user awareness, education and training:     A comprehensive national awareness programme on cybercrime Training and education programmes on cybercrime in secondary schools and universities Incorporating cybercrime contents in school curriculum Regular broadcasting of cybercrime related programmes on national television to educate citizens 23 | P a g e
