Understanding the Gap Between Teaching Online Safety and Workplace Cyber Awareness
Online safety education in schools focuses primarily on protecting students from immediate risks in their daily digital interactions, such as cyberbullying, inappropriate content, and safeguarding personal privacy on social media platforms.
These programs teach students how to be cautious with information sharing, avoid dangerous online behaviour, and navigate social media responsibly. While valuable, this training is largely personal in nature and often neglects the broader implications of digital literacy in professional settings, especially concerning the rising threats that affect businesses globally.
​
The world of work presents a vastly different digital landscape. In the workplace, employees are expected not only to protect themselves but also to act as the first line of defence for the organisations they work for. This shift requires an understanding of a broader and more complex set of cyber threats that students rarely encounter in personal online safety education.
Why The Gap Matters
Many students entering the workforce have limited exposure to the business implications of cybersecurity. While they may be savvy users of social media or online communication tools, they often lack the awareness of how these tools can be manipulated by malicious actors to gain unauthorised access to corporate systems. Cyber 38 aims to bridge this gap by providing cyber awareness training to students, ensuring they are better prepared for the demands of the workplace.
The Value of teaching Cyber Awareness from an Earlier Age
The importance of this training cannot be overstated. Human Error accounts for a significant percentage of cyber breaches, making it essential for students, entering the workplace as new employees, to understand the potential risks their actions may introduce to their employers.
With many of our young students already entering the workplace, extending this reach to an earlier age such as year 9+ will help to prevent bad behavioural habits that will otherwise become hard to break.
It can be introduced slowly via micro learning as a proven way of changing behaviour over time, resulting in students becoming habitually cyber aware as they progress through the education system.
