Amman, Oct. 1 (Petra) -- The National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) on Thursday launched a nationwide awareness campaign spanning more than 10 digital initiatives and targeting groups ranging from children and older people to employees and businesses.

Launched to coincide with Cybersecurity Awareness Month in October, the 2026 campaign is part of a long-term national effort to strengthen awareness of cyber threats and make safer digital practices part of everyday behavior.

The NCSC said the campaign will serve as an umbrella for its awareness programs, combining digital content with television and radio messaging, street displays and social media outreach.

Workshops and lectures will also be held for institutions and different segments of society, alongside a cybersecurity podcast, specialized competitions for producing awareness content and other public activities.

NCSC President Mohammad Samadi said expanding cybersecurity awareness across society is a core part of strengthening protection against digital risks.

Awareness, he said, is a fundamental component of cybersecurity, while building a society capable of responding effectively to digital threats requires sustained outreach through different tools and communication channels.

The campaign will provide tailored content for employees, women, children, teenagers, older people and businesses, reflecting the different online risks and challenges faced by each group.

The approach is intended to broaden responsibility for cybersecurity beyond specialized institutions by encouraging individuals and organizations to play an active role in protecting the national digital environment.

The NCSC said the campaign's longer-term objective is to integrate cybersecurity awareness into the daily practices of individuals and institutions while strengthening public participation in efforts to protect Jordan's cyberspace.
