NAVIGATING THE DIGITAL WORLD SAFELY

It’s more important than ever, especially in a rapidly advancing technological age. At Bennamite ICT and CBT Training Institute in Lafia, we are dedicated to equipping learners with practical skills and knowledge to ensure their safety and success in the digital world. Here's how we will help you navigate the digital landscape securely and confidently:

v UNDERSTANDING ONLINE SECURITY

In today’s world, cyber criminals are everywhere. Whether you’re browsing, shopping, or simply chatting online, you need to be aware of the risks. At Bennamite, we’ll teach you:

       ü   How to create strong passwords that are impossible to guess and why multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of protection.

       ü   How to identify suspicious emails (phishing) and avoid scams designed to steal your personal information.

       ü   The importance of keeping your software updated to prevent malware attacks and other digital threats.

 


v PROTECTING YOUR PRIVACY ONLINE:

Keep Your Personal Data Safe

In the digital age, protecting your privacy is crucial. We’ll show you how to:

       ü   Manage your privacy settings on social media and other platforms to control what personal information is shared with others.

       ü   Avoid over sharing personal details online that could make you vulnerable to identity theft or harassment.

       ü   Use encryption tools and VPN to keep your online activities private, especially when using public WiFi.

v SAFE ONLINE BEHAVIOR:

Be Smart, Be Responsible

Safe behavior online is just as important as protecting your devices. We help our learners develop good habits, such as:

       ü   Practicing responsible digital citizenship, respecting others, and understanding the consequences of harmful online actions.

       ü   Avoiding interactions with untrustworthy or suspicious websites, individuals, or services.

       ü   Understanding the ethical use of technology, including respecting intellectual property and avoiding illegal downloads.

 

v DATA BACKUP AND RECOVERY:

In the event of a cyber attack, hardware failure, or accidental deletion, having your data backed up can be a lifesaver. We teach you how to:

       ü   Regularly back up your important data on cloud services and external drives.

       ü   Use the right tools for quick and easy data recovery to avoid devastating losses.

v USE SAFE BROWSING TOOLS:

Guard your online presence

We show you how to enhance your browsing experience with tools designed to keep you safe, such as:

       ü   Installing and maintaining antivirus and anti-malware software.

       ü   Using browser extensions that block ads, trackers, and harmful sites, boosting both your security and privacy.

       ü   Recognizing secure websites (look for HTTPS) and knowing when a site is safe to browse or make transactions.


v SOCIAL MEDIA SAFETY:

Stay Connected Without Risk

Social media is a great way to stay connected, but it can also pose significant risks. At Bennamite, you’ll learn how to:

       ü   Safeguard your personal data on social media platforms by adjusting privacy settings and being cautious about whom you connect with.

       ü   Identify and avoid cyber bullying, and how to report or block harassers if necessary.

       ü   Be a responsible user by understanding the impact your social media activity can have on your personal and professional life.

v MANAGING YOUR DIGITAL FOOTPRINT:

 Every action you take online—whether it’s a comment, post, or search—leaves a digital trail. We help you understand:

       ü   The concept of a digital footprint and how to ensure yours is positive, especially when applying for jobs or further education.

       ü   How to develop a strong, positive online presence that reflects well on you and opens doors to future opportunities.

At Bennamite ICT and CBT Training Institute, our goal is not just to teach you about technology, but to ensure you can navigate the digital world safely, confidently, and responsibly. We offer hands-on, practical training that ensures you’ll be prepared for any challenge the digital landscape throws your way.
