Should schools, offices and banks start offering a course in cybersecurity to prevent people from falling prey to rising online scams?
Yes, I believe that schools, offices, and banks should offer courses in cybersecurity to prevent people from falling prey to rising online scams.
In Bahrain, the number of cybersecurity incidents has been on the rise in recent years. These incidents have resulted in financial losses, identity theft, and other forms of harm to individuals and businesses.
One of the most effective ways to prevent cybersecurity incidents is to educate people about the risks and how to protect themselves.
A course in cybersecurity would teach people about the different types of cyber attacks, how to identify them, and how to protect themselves from them. This would help people to be more aware of the risks and to take steps to protect themselves.
In addition to educating the public, schools, offices, and banks can also take steps to protect themselves from cyber attacks. This includes implementing strong security measures, such as firewalls and antivirus software. They can also train their employees on how to identify and report cybersecurity incidents.
By taking these steps, schools, offices, and banks can help to protect themselves and their customers from cyber attacks. This will help to reduce the number of cybersecurity incidents in Bahrain and keep people safe. I believe that the benefits of offering cybersecurity courses in Bahrain outweigh the costs. These courses would help to protect people from falling prey to online scams and would help to keep Bahrain’s digital economy safe.

Yes, they should. It will be helpful for them and people around them. A scam can be of any kind so with knowledge they will know how to prevent it and it will be good use for future.

Security awareness training helps to raise awareness of cybersecurity threats, reduce the risks associated with cyber attacks and embed a culture of security compliance in your organisation. Cyber safety education provides students with the knowledge and skills they need to stay safe in online environments. It involves acknowledging the benefits and opportunities offered by the online world, while understanding the risks and avoiding potential harms. Cyber safety is everyone’s responsibility.
