Education and information are essential for developing a strong cybersecurity culture. With this belief in mind, Safetech Innovations joins the Cyber Security Essentials 2026 Academy, an initiative of the Information and Communication Technology Association (ATIC), contributing to the realization of four of the 26 educational episodes.

As cyber threats become more complex, and digital technologies are increasingly present in the activity of companies, institutions and in everyday life, the need for information and education in the field of cybersecurity is increasing. Protection against cyberattacks is no longer only the responsibility of IT specialists, but involves the involvement of management, employees and each technology user.

Safetech Innovations constantly supports this information process through specialized articles, analyses, webinars and educational materials distributed on its website and through communication and social media channels.

Participation in the Cyber Security Essentials 2026 Academy is a natural continuation of these activities, but also an opportunity to contribute to a broader educational effort. Through ATIC, the expertise and resources of the partners involved are brought together in a joint project, which can reach a larger audience and generate a greater impact than individual initiatives.

26 episodes, six thematic directions

The Cyber Security Essentials 2026 Academy proposes a series of 26 video episodes, available for free on YouTube, in which specialists from different fields explain the main challenges of cybersecurity, the current risks and the measures by which organizations and users can protect themselves.

The content is structured in six thematic directions:

1. Cyber threats and geopolitical context – phishing, ransomware, ethical hacking, hybrid warfare and national security.

2. Education, behavior and citizen protection – cyber hygiene, safety of children and vulnerable people, online fraud, deepfakes and manipulation.

3. European regulations and management responsibility – NIS2, DORA, Cyber Resilience Act and transforming legislative requirements into concrete security measures.

4. Technologies and new digital vulnerabilities – artificial intelligence, cloud, IoT, robotics, security of connected equipment and supply chains.

5. Critical infrastructure and societal safety – protecting essential services in energy, health, transport, water and other areas.

6. Cyber resilience and crisis management – incident detection and management, systems recovery and business continuity.

An important element of the project is the diversity of perspectives. The Academy brings together cybersecurity experts, representatives of public institutions, regulatory specialists, university professors, researchers, journalists and professionals from the technology industry.

This approach allows cybersecurity to be presented not only from a technical perspective, but also in terms of economic, social, legislative and organizational impact.
