KUALA LUMPUR: Microsoft Malaysia and CyberSecurity Malaysia have launched the 'Safer Internet Month', a campaign to promote
safer and more responsible use of online technology and services.

Themed 'Stop. Think. Connect.', the campaign will underline the fact that it is important to be aware of online threats.

"At Microsoft, we believe it's our joint responsibility to help make the Internet a safer place for people, especially children, to learn and communicate," Microsoft Malaysia Managing Director, Ananth Lazarus said in a statement yesterday.

During the campaign, from March 10 to April 10, issues of cyber crime will be addressed
while suggestions and prescriptive guidance will be given on safeguarding the online experience.

"We are committed to ensuring that children are educated to the value of identity protection and online privacy, and recognise the wonderful opportunities the Internet brings, as well as the potential threats it could have," he said. - Bernama
