Cybersecurity awareness for kids

Kaspersky Lab and Midori Kuma came to South Africa to educate children about the importance of online safety.

Midori Kuma was in Johannesburg 01st August 2017 as part of his world trip. During the stop, he helped teach kids about online safety at our #KasperskySafeKids event in Johannesburg.
