" I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it gives me the platform to turn my passion for cybersecurity awareness into real, measurable change. I do this work to ensure that every person, regardless of background, has the knowledge and tools to protect themselves in our increasingly digital world. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: CyberSafe Bannu
People of my home city Bannu are not aware of Cybersecurity and Cyber scams. So they always become victims of digital scams. I want to educate people about the scams and guide them protect themselves. Youth of the city has no idea that there is a field name Cybersecurity and we can make our future career in the field. So the goal of my project is to run campaigns in schools, colleges and public auditorium where we will introduce the field to the youth and will guide them to make career in Cybersecurity.
