This includes being alert to scams, protecting personal data, using strong online security, de-escalating conflicts, and staying watchful in public areas. Security awareness helps individuals safeguard themselves, their belongings, and their communities. It's fostered through education, training, and ongoing reminders, encouraging everyone to stay alert and resilient.
