In interviews held at Halil İnalcık Anatolian High School and Gültepe İmam Hatip Secondary School, Asst.

In the seminar, issues such as the protection of personal data, cyber security awareness and how social engineering attacks take place were discussed. Gönen emphasized the importance of raising awareness of the dangers that young people may face in digital media. Stating that one should be careful against the persuasion and manipulation techniques that are unwittingly encountered in daily life, Asst. Prof. Gönen offered protection strategies to the students through concrete examples.
 
The seminar, which attracted great attention of the participants, once again revealed the importance of studies aiming to raise awareness in the field of cyber security at an early age. In this context, Istanbul Gelisim University continues to raise scientific awareness with its academicians who share information and continue their educational activities for all segments of the society.
