With the start of the new school year, digital connectivity has become a fundamental pillar in the education of young people. Technological devices have become indispensable, facilitating both learning and entertainment. Recent data from the Ministry of Education indicate that more than 81% of educational institutions offer virtual environments accessible from homes via personal devices.
However, the growing dependence on technology brings with it challenges. In 2024, the National Institute of Cybersecurity recorded more than 97,000 cybersecurity incidents, marking a worrying increase of 16.6% compared with the previous year. This phenomenon highlights the urgency of implementing effective measures to protect digital security, especially for young people.
In response to this need, Allianz Partners has introduced allyz Cyber, an innovative platform that combines advanced technology with assistance and insurance services. This resource focuses on protecting users' identity and privacy, integrating parental control features that allow parents to moderate device usage time and restrict inappropriate content.
The platform offers a private VPN and secure browsing options, which reinforces online protection by alerting users to potentially dangerous websites and monitoring data to prevent identity theft. Additionally, if a user is the victim of digital threats, such as identity theft or cyberbullying, Allianz Partners offers professional assistance to mitigate the damages.
Cristina Rosado, Commercial Manager at Allianz Partners, emphasizes the importance of protecting young people in the digital realm. "Technology is a great ally, but it also presents risks that we cannot ignore. With allyz Cyber, we offer families the peace of mind of a safe digital environment," says Rosado.
Thus, in a context where the return to classes is accompanied by a strong digital component, companies like Allianz Partners are taking proactive measures to strengthen cybersecurity, thereby ensuring a reliable and worry-free educational environment.
