TikTok Launches ‘Be Cybersmart’ Campaign to Help Improve Online Security Awareness

An article fromsite logo

As part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, TikTok has launched a new ‘Be Cybermart’ campaign, which aims to help users learn more about online security, and avoiding scams and hackers online.

I mean, the acting is not exactly top notch, but that’s not really the point – the idea of the campaign is to raise awareness of key cybersecurity threats, and to get TikTok users to consider the various elements that could compromise their account security.

The new push will see TikTok share a range of tips via its @TikTokTips account.

As explained by TikTok:

“The series will feature TikTok creators and employees, including TikTok Chief Security Officer Roland Cloutier and moderately successful touring comedian @alex_falcone telling tales of cyber crimes and how to #BeCyberSmart.”

It could serve as a good reminder to get TikTok users to improve their security processes, which, as we increasingly rely on online tools for all aspects of our day-to-day activity, is an important element, and will become even more so in future.

Indeed, as the pandemic inspires a new shift towards working from home, cybersecurity also needs to become a bigger focus. Already, there’s a strong argument that digital literacy, and safety, should be built into every school curriculum, and as more activities are linked back to our online identities, and scam activity also evolves with those shifts, the need for such education is only becoming more pressing over time.

As such, it’s good to see TikTok making a bigger push on this element, which, given its popularity among younger audiences, could have a big impact.

In addition to the new video tips series, TikTok is also working with The National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) to facilitate further education and interest in cybersecurity initiatives, which includes its partnership with the NSCA on its Cybersecurity Education and Career Resources Library.

That, ideally, will help spark more interest in cybersecurity careers, while TikTok is also now a chief sponsor of the annual Cyber Games, helping to provide more support for cybersecurity education.

Again, this is a key element in our evolving digital society, and by tapping into TikTok’s popularity, that could be a good way to maximize awareness of cybersecurity threats, and get more users interested in related careers.

Why are hiring techs so popular now in the booming HR tech market? (Part 1)

 DX(デジタルトランスフォーメーション)は組織・人事の世界でも急速に拡大している。HRテックという言葉が日本でも使われるようになって久しいが、製品領域でいうと主に3つの機能で市場が伸びている。 写真はイメージです(提供:ゲッティイメージズ)  1つ目がコアHCM(基幹人事システム)領域で、従業員情報管理や異動・昇格・報酬変更・退職など一連の人事業務プロセス全体を担う機能である。従来のオンプレミス製品からクラウドソリューションへの移行が顕著だ。代表的な製品としてSAP SuccessFactorsのEmployee CentralやWorkday、Oracle HCMが挙げられる。  2つ目がタレントマネジメント領域で、目標設定や評価、後継者管理、学習履歴管理、キャリア開発などの従業員全体の能力開発や将来の経営リーダー候補を育成支援する機能である。この領域でもSAP SuccessFactors、Workday、Oracleが世界的には主力であるがそれ以外にもCorner Stone on Demand、SumTotal Systems、Sava Software、近年では日本独自製品でカオナビ、タレントパレット、HRBrainなどが成長している。  そして3つ目の成長領域が本テーマである採用テックである。  世界的なマーケットリサーチ会社IDCの分析(Worldwide Talent Acquisition Technologies and Services Forecast, 2021-25)によれば、採用テックは20〜25年にCAGR4.5%で成長し、25年には1772億ドルの市場規模に達する見込みだ。  20年はコロナ禍での緊急避難的な採用抑制が世界的に見られたが、現在はコロナ禍からの景気回復基調の中で、採用を再開する企業が増えている。加えてリモートワーク環境の浸透や、ニューノーマル時代の価値観の変容で、Z世代を中心に今の会社をあっさり辞めて、やりたいことを実現するために転職や起業に向かっていく“Great Resignation”(大辞職時代)と呼ばれる動きも起きている。こうした直近の動向を鑑みると、求職者だけでなく企業側の立場から見ても、今後一層デジタル・テクノロジーをてこに、採用の世界が効率化・高度化するであろう。 採用テックが今求められる2つの理由  採用テックが今求められる理由は主に2つある。 Copyright © ITmedia, Inc.
