From solving puzzles as part of a cybersecurity-inspired escape room, completing a paint-based colour mixing activity to understand encryption, playing tag-based games to explore how different types of malware can infect your computer and much more, Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders and Rangers across the country worked to complete a set number of activities and modules that taught them various cybersecurity skills.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re thrilled with the program&#8217;s results and the fact that so many girls saw value in becoming cybersecurity savvy while learning about the consequences and dangers of unsafe online behaviors that could potentially put them, their device or their personal information at risk,&#8221;\u00a0said <span class=\"xn-person\">Sarah Tatsis<\/span>, VP, Advanced Technology Development Labs, BlackBerry. &#8220;The Digital Defenders program has allowed girls to develop critical cybersecurity skills \u2013 of particular importance right now as the COVID-19 pandemic has forced them to participate in countless virtual activities and extended periods of remote learning. With the cybersecurity industry facing a significant talent \u2013 and gender gap \u2013 a big part of the program&#8217;s aim was to &#8216;spark&#8217; cybersecurity interest at a young age and I&#8217;m confident that many now see how interesting and valuable these foundational skills are and that there are many career opportunities out there in which they can make a difference with their newfound cyber-smarts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At\u00a0Girl Guides of <span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span>, we&#8217;ve always empowered girls with the necessary skills they need to excel,&#8221; said\u00a0Jill Zelmanovits, CEO, GGC. &#8220;We&#8217;re thrilled that the program was so well received and has become even more relevant for girls today as they navigate the current tech landscape and are emersed in more extended periods of online learning due to current pandemic protocols. Programs like Digital Defenders that encourage girls to dive in, ask curious questions, problem-solve and explore how technology works serve as an important incubator to foster girls&#8217; confidence that technology can be a very rewarding career path.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I learned a lot about cybersecurity through the Digital Defenders program,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Victoria Huk<\/span>, an Ontario Ranger. &#8220;The information was much more current and detailed than what I would have learned in school. Most of the information we get in school revolves around not talking to strangers online, and we don&#8217;t learn much about cybersecurity. I liked that Digital Defenders included tips that are practical for protecting yourself, such as the importance of creating a strong password and updating it. Overall, I thought it was a great program that was current and engaging.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the GGC and BlackBerry &#8220;Digital Defenders&#8221; program, please visit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3084256-1&amp;h=325305761&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.girlguides.ca%2Fdigitaldefenders&amp;a=www.girlguides.ca%2Fdigitaldefenders\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">www.girlguides.ca\/digitaldefenders<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About BlackBerry <br \/><\/b>BlackBerry (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) provides intelligent security software and services to enterprises and governments around the world.\u00a0The company secures more than <span class=\"xn-money\">500M<\/span> endpoints including <span class=\"xn-money\">175M<\/span> cars on the road today.\u00a0 Based in <span class=\"xn-location\">Waterloo, Ontario<\/span>, the company leverages AI and machine learning to deliver innovative solutions in the areas of cybersecurity, safety and data privacy solutions, and is a leader in the areas of endpoint security, endpoint management, encryption, and embedded systems.\u00a0 BlackBerry&#8217;s vision is clear &#8211; to secure a connected future you can trust. <\/p>\n<p>\n        <i>BlackBerry.
