Why Cybersecurity Awareness Matters for Students

In today’s hyper-connected world, students are more vulnerable than ever to cyber threats like phishing attacks, data breaches, and identity theft. Recognizing this growing concern, Eternal University took a major step towards strengthening students’ digital literacy by organizing CyberSaksham: Empowering Students for Digital Safety, as part of the UGC-mandated Deeksharambh Student Orientation Programme 2025.

The session was spearheaded by Ms. Avinash Preet Kaur, a proud alumna of Eternal University, who shared her expertise in cybersecurity with the newly admitted students. Her engaging session highlighted the importance of cyber hygiene and provided actionable strategies to stay safe in the digital world.
