To mark the 2022 International Girls in ICT Day, the Ministry of Digital Affairs and Digitalisation held an awareness session on internet use on Thursday 28 April 2022 for female students of the National School of Applied Economics and Management (ENEAM).

Two modules were developed by the teams of the National Information Systems Security Agency (ANSSI). These are:

  • Sextortion
  • Basic hygiene rules for improved personal digital security

The young students, who are a group particularly vulnerable to deviant behaviour online, were made aware of the methods used by cybercriminals and of the behaviour to adopt to protect themselves from all forms of scams in general and sextortion in particular. At a time when digital usage is growing rapidly, they were also taught rules for good digital hygiene.
