KICTANET celebrates Safer Internet Day (SID), a global initiative advocating for a safer and more secure internet for all, especially children and young adults. Launched in 2004 under the EU's Safe Borders project, it has grown immensely, involving over 150 countries by 2023.

SID's significance lies in its holistic approach to digital safety. It addresses online dangers like cyberbullying, phishing, and privacy breaches while highlighting positive actions to counter them. Schools, organizations, and individuals participate in events and activities that raise awareness and teach practical skills for safe online navigation. KICTANet remains committed to in building the capacity and awareness of being digitally safe.

Beyond awareness, KICTANet being a multistakeholder think tank,  drives positive change. It acts as a catalyst for policy adjustments, educational programs, and community initiatives aimed at building a safer digital world. Safer Internet Day underscores the need for continuous vigilance and education in the digital age, reminding everyone of their role in safeguarding the Internet.

SID emphasizes the importance of secure online practices, especially strong passwords. While often disliked, passwords are crucial for digital security. Major data breaches occur due to weak password management, highlighting the need for robust password protocols.
