Although we yearn for a digital space free of threats , reality confronts us with the complexity inherent in contemporary digital society .

This challenge , similar to Thomas More ’ s reflection in his work Utopia , invites us to recognize the inevitability of certain risks .

In recent times , various institutions , with particular emphasis on the European Community , have devoted significant resources to promoting Internet security .

Hope lies in building a culture that embraces the motto Together for a Better Internet – in honor of the International Day for a Safer Internet that is commemorated every February 6 .

This Internet security is not the sole

Conveying appropriate recommendations , especially to those starting their journey on the web , is essential .

Awareness of the risks associated with digital browsing should be cultivated from the first steps online .

The rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence , immersion in the metaverse and exploration of virtual worlds have widened the surface of exposure to potential threats , in the context of today ’ s Digital Transformation .

Despite the challenges , there are still committed people – with a true quixotic digital spirit – who seek to defeat the imaginary giants of cyber insecurity through education .

However , these measures are insignificant if they are not accompanied by a conscious and careful attitude when navigating the vastness of cyberspace .

This approach reflects the lesson learned in childhood , where empirical understanding of dangers was critical .

Digital security is a daily commitment : the strength of the chain depends on each of its links .

Not only must we safeguard our own information , but we must also work together to protect those around us .

The impact of a digital threat goes beyond the direct victim , reaching a large part of their environment .

Achieving a fully secure Internet may be a utopian goal , but through education , awareness and collective responsibility we can build a more resilient and protected digital space .

Internet security is not just a requirement of some , but a collective need that defines the integrity of our digital society . p
