Partner-led community initiative extends Acronis’ cyber safety education mission and helps young people in Malta build safer digital habits
IL-MELLIEĦA, Malta, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Acronis Cyber Foundation Program, Acronis’ corporate social responsibility initiative focused on expanding access to education and IT skills development while supporting environmental preservation initiatives, in partnership with Malta-based managed services provider Eyetech, hosted interactive cyber safety sessions for youth from Mellieħa Sports Club in Malta.
The initiative brought Acronis’ cyber safety education model into the local community through Eyetech’s leadership, helping around 60 children ages 8 to 13 learn how to stay safe online through engaging educational games and activities. The sessions helped young participants recognize online risks, protect personal information, and make safer digital choices through games and hands-on activities.The event featured two interactive learning sessions. Eyetech led “The Case of the Hacked Tablet,” a cyber detective game that helped children recognize suspicious online activity and understand how to protect their personal information. Acronis followed with “The Cyber Detectives. True or False Challenge,” a physical cyber awareness game covering passwords, phishing, online privacy, deep fakes, digital footprints, AI, and responsible online behavior.Together, the sessions gave children a practical and engaging way to build safer digital habits while demonstrating how Acronis and its partners can bring cyber safety education into local communities.For Eyetech, the event was also an extension of its ongoing philanthropic and community-focused efforts in Malta. After seeing Acronis’ cyber safety education approach in action, the company adapted the concept for local children, combining its understanding of the Maltese community with Acronis’ broader mission to improve digital literacy and cyber awareness.
