OSCE organizes seminar on cyber security at home

An OSCE-supported seminar on staying safe in cyberspace was organized by the OSCE Programme Office in Nur-Sultan on 11 June 2020.

Experts discussed cyber hygiene, life in cyberspace after the quarantine and fraud on social media for an audience of over 50 government officials, civil society leaders, students and members of the general public.

The event was organized to help raise awareness of threats in cyberspace, including financial crimes and threats against children. It addressed the fact that the general public is now spending more time online to socialize and work because of the public health measure related to stopping the spread of COVID-19.

Participants attended via an online platform and submitted questions to the experts that were addressed in real time.

The event is part of the Programme Office’s efforts to promote awareness of transnational threats, including those in cyberspace, to the general public.
