Between June 26 and June 28, 2024, the Institute for Development of Freedom of Information (IDFI), held three online training sessions on "Digital Rights and Digital Security."

Cyber security specialist and associate professor Andro Gotsiridze led the training together with IDFI representative, Teona Turashvili. During the session, participants received advice on how to protect the security of their online accounts (e-mail, social networks) and devices (mobile phones, laptops, etc.), what preventive measures they should take to avoid becoming victims of various online frauds and attacks, how to protect personal data, and what means of communication to use for security. In addition, the participants of the training learned about the challenges and legal protection mechanisms in Georgia in terms of digital rights protection.

The training was conducted in an interactive format. The participants learned about contemporary digital threats and had the opportunity to raise questions of interest and receive advice from the expert. Through an informative quiz, they tested their digital skills and got familiar with additional educational resources created by IDFI, enabling them to further improve their digital literacy in the future.
