Increasing awareness of threats and vulnerabilities related to cyber security and their social impacts. The cybersecurity strategy prioritises targeted awareness through educational campaigns for stakeholders and for citizens to help enhance knowledge about the risks of online environments with the aim of increasing protection from common threats, which is expected to eventually boost the level of cyber security in Greece.

The design, organisation and implementation of the user-citizen awareness programme is supervised by the National Cyber Security Authority and indicatively includes citizen information campaigns (e.g. via the Ministry of Education in primary and secondary education), educational activities (e.g. in collaboration with university institutions) for administrators and users of the stakeholders' information and communication systems, promotion through websites, etc.

Measures for supporting research and development programmes and academic educational programmes include: 

• Participation in national, EU or other international research and development programmes.
• Adaptation of curricula to encompass topics related to the National Cyber Security Strategy with the aim of strengthening the level of cyber security in Greece, especially when taking into account that this is a field of constantly evolving cutting edge technologies and specialised knowledge.
