Trend Micro, in partnership with COGG (The Council for Gaeltacht and Gaelscoileanna Education), are excited to launch their Cyber Academy in the Irish language as Seachtain na Gaeilge kicks off.

This academy is aimed at children aged 7 to 11 years and is comprised of 11 all-important topics, covering everything from passwords and camera safety to kindness, misinformation and time online.

To celebrate the launch, Trend Micro and COGG are hosting a free webinar for schools as Gaeilge on Tuesday, 19th March at 1.30pm. This virtual webinar, which is aimed at 3rd to 6th class pupils and available to schools all around the country, will cover two of the Cyber Academy topics: Pasfhocail (passwords) and Fíordheimhniú déshraithe (twofactor authentication).
