In today’s digital world, university students are more connected than ever. From online research and virtual lectures to social media and online banking, the internet is an essential part of student life. However, with this convenience comes a growing risk—cyber threats.

At Clyrofor, we believe that the first step to cybersecurity is awareness. That’s why we are excited to be part of the University of the Witwatersrand’s Gateway to Success event from February 3rd to February 6th, educating students on how to protect themselves online.

Why Cyber Awareness Matters

University students are prime targets for cybercriminals. Phishing emails, identity theft, and public Wi-Fi risks can lead to compromised accounts, financial loss, or even academic disruptions. Without proper cyber hygiene, students could unknowingly expose themselves to data breaches and malicious attacks.

How to Stay Safe Online

Here are a few simple but effective tips:
🔹 Use Strong Passwords – A mix of letters, numbers, and symbols can keep your accounts secure.
🔹 Think Before You Click – Avoid suspicious links in emails and messages.
🔹 Keep Software Updated – Updates patch security vulnerabilities.
🔹 Beware of Public Wi-Fi – Always use a VPN when connecting to unsecured networks.
🔹 Stay Alert to Scams & Phishing – If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
