The initiative, part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts, aimed to equip students with essential digital skills and promote responsible online behavior.
The event, held on December 9, 2024, engaged 75 students through interactive sessions on digital safety. The workshop covered topics such as safeguarding personal information, avoiding suspicious links, and practicing caution while navigating online platforms. A pledge session encouraged students to commit to secure online habits, highlighting the importance of not sharing sensitive information or engaging with unfamiliar content.
As part of its “Stay Warm, Stay Safe” theme, Kaspersky also distributed warm jackets to all participants. This gesture underscored the company’s dual focus on digital literacy and community support.

The initiative reflects Kaspersky’s broader mission to combine cybersecurity education with social impact. By raising awareness of digital safety and addressing basic needs, the campaign sought to prepare students for safer interactions in an increasingly online environment.
The event comes at a time when digital literacy is critical, especially for vulnerable groups with limited access to such knowledge. Kaspersky’s efforts highlight the growing role of private organizations in bridging digital safety gaps and fostering awareness among underprivileged communities.
