Cybercriminals don’t just target big corporations—small businesses, schools, public sector organisations, and industrial institutions are all at risk. A single phishing email, weak password, or outdated software could be all it takes for an attack to succeed, leading to data breaches, financial loss, reputational damage, and costly downtime. With cyber threats becoming more sophisticated, it has never been more important to take proactive steps toward digital security.
At Oakford Technology, we understand the importance of staying ahead of cybercriminals and implementing robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard sensitive information and digital environments. That’s why we’re proud to support Safer Internet Day 2025 and stand alongside Safer Internet UK in championing stronger digital security and online safety practices.
This year’s theme focuses on empowering safer digital experiences, and we’re committed to working closely with our customers—whether you’re an educator shaping young minds, an IT lead securing digital networks, or a business owner protecting valuable data—to promote a more secure and responsible online world. By fostering a culture of awareness, education, and proactive security measures, we can all contribute to making the internet a safer place for everyone.
How We Support a Safer Internet:
- Cybersecurity for Businesses & Institutions – Helping organisations strengthen their defences against cyber threats with robust security solutions, regular risk assessments, and employee awareness training.
- Digital Safeguarding for Schools – Ensuring that young people, teachers, and parents have the tools and knowledge to navigate the internet safely through e-safety workshops, content filtering, and best practice guidance.
- Proactive Threat Prevention – Educating customers on best practices for preventing phishing attacks, ransomware infections, and data breaches through comprehensive security training and real-time threat monitoring.
- Encouraging Stronger Passwords & Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) – One of the simplest yet most effective ways to enhance security is by using strong, unique passwords and enabling MFA wherever possible.
- Keeping Software & Systems Updated – Cybercriminals often exploit outdated software to gain access to systems. Regular updates and patch management are crucial to closing security gaps.
- Raising Awareness on Social Engineering Attacks – Many cyber threats rely on human error. By training employees and users to recognize fraudulent emails, suspicious links, and impersonation attempts, organisations can significantly reduce the risk of cyberattacks.
Safer Internet Day serves as a crucial reminder that online safety is a shared responsibility. Whether in the workplace, classroom, or home, taking small but significant steps can help prevent cyber threats and create a safer digital environment for everyone.
