The events were organized by the Department for the Organization of Advanced Training and Specialization of the Institute of Postgraduate Education and Distance Learning of Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs.
Patrol police officers undergoing advanced training, as well as law enforcement officers newly recruited to the National Police of Ukraine, took part in the classes dedicated to Safer Internet Day.
The classes were conducted by Senior Lecturer of the Department of Information Technologies of Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs, Serhii Prokopov.
During the sessions, the main principles of information security and approaches to the safe use of gadgets were discussed. Particular emphasis was placed on the use of two-factor authentication, creating strong passwords, and the importance of recognizing dangerous resources in order to avoid phishing, social engineering, malware, and the leakage of official information.
Special attention was also given to the risks associated with the use of messengers, social networks, and open Wi-Fi networks while performing official duties.
Such classes contribute to improving the digital literacy of law enforcement officers, developing sustainable skills for protecting personal and official data, preventing cyber threats in professional activities, and ensuring information security at both the personal and state levels.
