Cyber security is an important part of overall national security. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Holding the Cyber Security Week, enhancing the awareness and skills of network security among the public, is an important part of the national network security work." Without high-level network security, it is difficult achieve high-level national security, and it is difficult to protect high-quality development and effectively safeguard the vital interests of the broad masses of the people in cyberspace. Network is for the people, and network security depends on the people. We should conscientiously study and implement the important exposition and instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on network security profoundly grasp the general trend of information development, continuously enhance the awareness and skills of network security of the whole people, give full play to the main role of the people in maintaining network, and continuously improve the level of network security.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the guidance of the important thought of General Xi Jinping on building a strong cyberspace country, China has continuously created a new situation in the development and governance of the Internet, and the propaganda and education of network have been strengthened in an all-round way, and the awareness and skills of network security among the public have been continuously improved. The system of policies and regulations has been continuously improved and the Network Security Law, Data Security Law, "National Strategy for Security in Cyberspace" and other laws and regulations and policy documents have been formulated, clarifying the respons and paths for carrying out the propaganda and education of network security and strengthening the training of network security talents. The propaganda and education has gradually deepened, the National Cyber Security Week has successfully held for many times, the content and form have been continuously innovated, and the coverage has continued to expand. Network security has been included in the national education system, many places have integrated the education of network security awareness and skills into the information technology and relevant ideological and political courses in primary and secondary schools. A multi-party collaborative pattern has initially shape, and the propaganda and education of network security led by government departments, supported by enterprises, and participated by the society has been continuously deepened and implemented. More and more Internet have actively fulfilled their responsibilities for network security, media institutions have continuously strengthened the propaganda of network security, and community organizations have carried out activities such as lectures on network security technology skills and anti-fraud propaganda.

At the same time, it is worth noting that there are still many challenges ahead of us in continuously enhancing the awareness skills of network security among the public. As of June this year, the number of netizens in China has reached 1.123 billion, and the internet penetration has reached 79.7%. Such a large online population is not only a strong force for China's construction of a strong online country, but is also increasingly becoming target of network attacks. For example, as digital natives, teenagers are prone to indulge in the internet and be eroded by bad information; the elderly often become victims of telecommunication fraud such as "false investment" and "impersonation of children seeking help". There are significant gaps in awareness and skills of network security between urban and rural areas, regions different age groups, and occupational groups, and the efforts to coordinate the whole society to promote network security education still need to be strengthened. There are also problems of formalism andity in network security education and propaganda, some propaganda activities are perfunctory, and some educational content is outdated and boring, which is divorced from reality. This requires us to take powerful and effective measures, through systematic and sustained education and propaganda, to enhance the public's awareness of, judgment of, and response to network risks, to establish the correct concept network security, and ultimately to transform into practical actions that comply with security regulations and reasonably prevent and respond to network security risks, and to build a people's defense line for network.
A coordinated and linked working mechanism should be established. We should take the improvement of the awareness and skills of network security for all people as a foundational and strategic, establish and improve the working mechanism with the competent department of network information as the lead and departments such as education, industry and information, public security, etc., and form a force for management. Relying on platforms such as party and mass service centers, we should integrate the popularization of knowledge and skills of network security with grassroots practice activities, and the publicity and education of network security into communities, rural areas, enterprises, organs, schools, and families, so as to achieve full coverage. For the groups that are vulnerable to attacks, such as the elderly and teenagers, we should actively carry out precise and differentiated propaganda and education, avoid "one-size-fits-all" propaganda and "flo irrigation" education. For example, for university network security education, on the one hand, we should systematically explain the achievements of China's network security work in the new era and current threats faced, and enhance the students' sense of crisis, responsibility, and mission to maintain network security; on the other hand, we should systematically analyze the high-frequency security problems encountered by college students, and help them actively update and maintain their own "skill library" of network security
Deeply publicize the concept, knowledge, and skills of network security. Constantly innovate ways and means, make good of the National Cyber Security Week held every year, explore more popular and close to the people's ways to publicize the concept of network security, popularize the knowledge of network, and promote the skills of network security. In the process of normalizing the propaganda and education of network security, the excellent story selection of "China's Young Netizens can be held continuously, and the activities of collecting and broadcasting Chinese online masterpieces can be carried out, aiming to create more integrated media works, and actively create a network space full positive energy and the main theme is high, enhance the awareness of the majority of netizens to use the Internet scientifically, civilly, safely and lawfully. . Act explore the use of new technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence, integrate offline skills competitions, interactive experiences with online short videos, animations, live broadcasts, etc., so that netizens can comprehensively improve their network security skills such as equipment protection, account management, information identification, and risk response.
Strengthen the effectiveness evaluation of security propaganda and education. Starting from and returning to the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of the people in cyberspace, regularly carry out multi-dimensional surveys involving network security and privacy protection awareness, the ability to preserve and utilize network information, the ability to understand network norms, and the ability to identify network information, evaluate the effectiveness of network security propaganda education, and provide reference for improving work. All departments strengthen the propaganda and education of network security, all network platforms strictly fulfill the responsibility of maintaining network security, all levels of actively do a good job in network security education, and the majority of netizens consciously improve their network literacy and network security capabilities, so as to promote the formation of a longterm protection mechanism with government-led, enterprise performance, social participation and netizen self-discipline, and continuously improve the awareness and skills of the whole people on network security
