From the beginning of 2022, students and future entrants of SumDU have the opportunity to study a special online course "Basic Rules of Security in the Digital Environment".

Along with the opportunities provided by information and communication technologies, we sometimes face threats that have arisen in the new digital reality – cybercrime, cyber espionage, intellectual property theft, and so on. Information and cybersecurity skills are essential to prevent all of these risks.

In order to increase the general level of knowledge in the field of cybersecurity among students and entrants of SumDU, it is planned to distribute an online course "Basic Rules of Security in the Digital Environment", developed by the U.S. Civilian Research & Development Foundation, a memorandum of cooperation with which our university signed. The course allows you to learn about the main threats in the digital space, understand what information is the main goal of hackers and remember the basic recommendations for personal data protection, safe use of electronic devices and information resources.

The course consists of 11 educational animated video modules (5-7 minutes each) and lasts 60 minutes. Course participants can study the course modularly and fix the results for each module. The course is open for registration and training on the platform https://cybereducation.org/ for current students and future entrants of Sumy State University, which is a partner of the CRDF Global Cyber Security Project in Ukraine.
