In an era where our professional and personal lives are intricately woven into the digital fabric, understanding and safeguarding our online presence is more crucial than ever. Following a number of advice requests from partners in the Global South and a digital safety training session conducted by Emy Osorio Matorel, our Advisor for Digital Analysis and Strategy, at AGIAMONDO's Summer Conference in 2023, Cameco recognised the need to delve deeper into personal online safety beyond the conventional cybersecurity discourse.
For that reason, CAMECO now presents a concise practical guide, written by Osorio Matorel based on her advice and training experience. It explains efficient measures and precautions that are easy to implement on an individual basis when communicating online. This guide is aimed less at tech experts and more at anyone communicating online and keen on grasping key concepts and measures surrounding digital security.
The guide starts by addressing fundamental concepts such as virtual private networks (VPNs), password security, and the emerging challenges presented by generative AI. Each section provides actionable recommendations, demystifying complex topics and empowering users to implement best practices. Whether you are an employee or not, this guide is designed to equip you with the knowledge needed to protect your data, information, and assets effectively.
One standout feature of this guide is its user-friendly approach, breaking down complex ideas into digestible pieces. It does not just focus on the "what" but also the "how," offering a practical road map on how to create robust passwords, choose the right personal VPN, secure web browsers, reduce your digital footprint and safely navigate social media. Although this guide is currently only available in English, we plan to release a Spanish and French version in the coming weeks.
