In a letter to the heads of all its affiliated schools across the country, the CBSE wrote, “We are living in the 21st century with various digital gadgets, connected to the entire world through the Internet. From social media to online banking and financial transactions, maintaining digital records to online shopping and online classes, every thread of our lives are available on the internet.”
Through the connected world, we can easily pass on all information instantly, allowing us to work in collaboration and get the desired information for personal and professional growth.
However, these network connections leave our devices more vulnerable to damage and our information vulnerable to theft. Hackers can tunnel and gain access to our information and use it for their own purposes. Cyber and network security helps to solve this problem. In essence, everyone needs Cyber Security to safeguard his/her data and vital information, the notification said.
The link of Classrooms shall be available on https://cybersecuritycbse.blogspot.com from July 15, 2021.
