The Department has seen the need to empower its employees to recognize and mitigate cyber risks, fostering a culture of vigilance and resilience.  Thus, the Department organized a cyber risk awareness session (a day each) for all divisions to sit in, especially for the non-ICT officers. Having to understand the cyber risks helps minimize human error, reducing breaches and safe guarding sensitive data and assets.
