Teams from the Samsun Police Department's Cyber Crimes Division introduced the SİBERAY Club and Project to students at Ondokuz Mayıs University Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School (OMU MTAL).
As part of the event, OMU MTAL was selected as a partner school by the Provincial Police Department due to its Cyber Security, Information Technologies, and Software Development programs. During the program, police officers conducted a seminar to raise awareness about cyber security and responsible internet usage.
Following the seminar, students participated in an interactive knowledge competition, where those who performed well received various prizes.
Samsun Police Chief Ahmet Arıbaş emphasized the importance of safe and purposeful internet use and stated:
“We hope this initiative will be highly effective, informative, and successful. We highlight the importance of embracing the digital era and using the internet as a tool of the global world. However, it is essential to do so in a secure and responsible manner. Through comprehensive events like this, we aim to create awareness about safe internet usage.”
Atakum District National Education Director Yüksel Aydın acknowledged the significance of holding this event at OMU MTAL, given its specialized technology-related programs.
“Since our school has departments related to this field, hosting this event here is particularly meaningful. We sincerely thank the Provincial Police Department for organizing this. Activities that educate young people on safe internet usage are of great importance.”
Mavera Nur, a 10th-grade student and member of the SİBERAY Club, shared her excitement about joining the initiative:
“I was thrilled when I first heard about this club and signed up immediately. Thanks to the training I received, I plan to inform my family and those around me. One of the key takeaways for me is ensuring that I never use a single password for all my digital accounts.”
SİBERAY is a nationwide awareness and education program led by the General Directorate of Security's Cyber Crimes Department. Its primary mission is to raise awareness about cyber security and educate all segments of society on preventing cyber crimes and ensuring safe online practices.
