Online pressure can lead to harmful decisions. Don't share embarrassing, revealing, or risky content just to fit in. Your safety and reputation matter more than online approval.@UCC_Official @ConsumerUCC @MoICT_Ug

AI and deepfakes can make fake images, videos and voices look real. Children should be taught to question what they see, verify sources and avoid sharing unconfirmed content. @UCC_Official

Online grooming is a hidden threat. Predators build trust to exploit. Teach children: never share personal details, report suspicious behavior, and keep communication open. @UCC_Official @ConsumerUCC

Protecting children online is paramount.
Parents should monitor their children's online activities, educate them about potential risks, and set age-appropriate parental controls.
Together, let's prioritize online safety for our children.

Encourage your children to talk to you about any discomfort they feel from something they've seen or experienced online.
Many children who face online bullying or sextortion may feel ashamed to confide in an adult, but open communication is key to helping them.

Happening Now: 5th Annual CEO Cyber Security Breakfast at the @UCC_Official Head Office.
The Annual CEO Cyber Security Breakfast is ongoing at the UCC Head Office and our CEO, Nicholas Mbonimpa, led a panel discussion with panellists answering the question, "Reflecting on the past five years, has your organization made any strategic shifts in its cybersecurity approach to strengthen its overall business strategy?"
The panel included CEOs of Uganda's leading Mobile Network Operators @mtnug, @Airtel_Ug , and @LiquidInTechUG. There are not better entities to discuss Cybersecurity in Uganda than the networks that handle the most data traffic in Uganda!
The key message of the discussion was that for any organisation to take cybersecurity seriously, the tone has to start at the top.
Thank you, @UCC_Official for the opportunity to engage in such vital conversations.
