A ‘pop up shop’ providing advice on online safety and security will take place in Foyleside shopping centre in Derry tomorrow.
Members of the public will be able to have mobile devices scanned for viruses, emails checked for security breaches, and test their driving skills in a Formula 1 simulator provided by internet security company Kaspersky.
Admission to the event, which will run from noon until 7.00pm, is free
Detective Chief Inspector Dougie Grant, from PSNI's Cyber Crime Centre, said: “At these 'pop up shops,' we will have officers on hand to provide advice about child protection online and cyber investigation.
“Action Fraud will also have staff available to answer any questions and offer assistance to visitors.
“We will have specialist advice for small businesses including the Cyber Essentials package designed to help organisations protect themselves against common cyber attacks.
“The events are being promoted on social media #cybersafeni and we really do believe these are events that can have a positive impact on people’s online experiences.”
