National Cybersecurity Authority and stc Launch 'You Are Safe' Campaign

The National Cybersecurity Center and Kuwait Telecommunications Company (stc) announced the launch of a national cybersecurity awareness campaign. This campaign is part of national efforts to enhance a more secure digital environment by raising awareness of digital risks and cyber fraud, as well as encouraging safe practices when using digital services and platforms.

Designed within the framework of stc’s corporate social responsibility and its strategy to support the community, and developed in collaboration with the National Cybersecurity Center, the campaign aims to boost public awareness by delivering protective information in a simplified and effective manner. Accordingly, the campaign targeted employees working across various state institutions and government sectors. It included the launch of opinion polls to assess their cybersecurity awareness using the KnowBe4 cybersecurity awareness platform, which also measures awareness levels.

Furthermore, the campaign featured awareness messages addressing scenarios that users may encounter in their daily lives, helping them better recognize potential risks and understand the steps they can take to protect themselves. The campaign combines educational content, live activities, and interactive digital experiences, supported by electronic campaigns across approved digital and advertising channels to reach a wider audience.

For its part, the National Cybersecurity Center emphasized the importance of awareness in this field, describing it as a fundamental pillar for protecting individuals and institutions. It noted that enhancing knowledge of digital risks and how to handle them helps people make more informed decisions when using technology and reduces the likelihood of falling victim to cyber fraud. The Center added that awareness is a shared responsibility requiring the combined efforts of government entities and the private sector, along with the provision of simplified content related to situations individuals face in their daily lives, thereby transforming knowledge into safe practices that contribute to protecting their data and privacy. The Center is committed to supporting initiatives and partnerships that promote cybersecurity culture, raise awareness among various segments of society, and contribute to fostering a more secure digital environment.

Within the framework of this cooperation, the National Cybersecurity Center defined the campaign’s general direction, main themes, and target audience, and approved the awareness content and messages. The Center will also oversee the implementation of the campaign and measure its impact. Meanwhile, stc, in coordination with the National Cybersecurity Center, will provide the necessary platform and interactive tools for the campaign, manage the experiences and activities, and support the distribution of awareness content through relevant channels.

In a statement, Kuwait Telecommunications Company clarified that the awareness campaign included presence at various high-traffic gathering locations across Kuwait. The company was present at the Ministries Complex, Al Khorain Mall, and the Capital Complex during different periods throughout the campaign. stc stated: “Our participation in this national campaign reflects the company’s commitment to supporting initiatives that promote a safer digital culture in society.
