The portal offers educational materials in the form of short videos covering topics such as password policy, phishing, social media security, personal data protection, and electronic digital signature. Completion of the course is accompanied by the issuance of an achievement certificate, emphasizing the importance of the acquired knowledge. In addition, the site presents an information security methodology aimed at creating a secure digital environment and implementing new solutions in accordance with national and international standards. This project is an important part of the Concept of Digital Transformation and Cybersecurity of Kazakhstan for 2023-2029, approved by the Government of the Republic.
