The symposium is presented by Asst.Lecturer Mohammed Baqir Fakher and Asst.Lecturer Muntadhar Essam. The topics addressed include the importance of utilizing computer skills to strengthen digital security, raising awareness of practices for protecting institutional data and information, ensuring the safe use of electronic systems and devices, managing information access permissions, and identifying the risks of cyberattacks and phishing.
The symposium aims to develop students' digital security skills and familiarize them with practices that contribute to protecting institutional data and maintaining its confidentiality, while minimizing the risks of data breaches and misuse. This would enhance their ability to address digital challenges in the workplace.
This symposium is part of a series of activities organized by the Media and Government Communication Department in cooperation with the university's colleges, in support of graduates and with the aim of developing their practical and digital skills and enhancing their readiness to enter the labor market. These efforts seek to open broader horizons for learning, initiative, and opportunity creation.
