Cyber Secure Schools Program

The “Cyber Secure Schools Program” is an integral initiative undertaken by the Council of Cyber Vigilance and Security Enforcement to achieve its objectives of creating a safe and secure cyber environment in educational institutions. Through this program, schools and colleges actively participate in ensuring their campuses are well-prepared to handle cyber threats effectively. The program aims to raise awareness among teachers and students about the vulnerabilities that individuals, institutions, and infrastructure face from internet and cyber threats.
Key components of the Cyber Secure Schools Program:

  1. Awareness and Commitment: Faculty and students engage in learning about cyber laws and the various dimensions of cyber protection, ensuring a collective commitment to fostering cyber security awareness throughout the campus.
  2. Online Training and Certification: A percentage of faculty members and students undergo comprehensive online courses and certifications to enhance their knowledge and skills in cyber security, creating a cyber-secure community within the institution.
  3. Institutional Undertaking: Educational institutions pledge to implement essential cyber security measures within their campus, focusing on safeguarding individuals and maintaining the security of the nation in the cyber space.
  4. Cyber Secure Campus Certification: After successfully implementing the necessary cyber security measures, the institution is awarded the prestigious “Cyber Secure Campus Certification” as a testament to their dedication and efforts towards cyber safety.
  5. Recognition and Honors: Students and faculty members who played a significant role in promoting cyber security on campus are acknowledged and honored for their contributions. By ensuring compliance with the Cyber Secure Campus Program, educational institutions not only strengthen their own cyber security but also make a substantial impact on the overall objectives of the Council of Cyber Vigilance and Security Enforcement. These efforts contribute to key performance indicators, leading towards the vision of a cyber-safe and secure India, where individuals and institutions can confidently navigate the cyber space and internet-connected devices. Together, the program helps in building a skilled and resilient cyber security workforce, protecting national information resources and contributing to a digitally empowered society.
