Our digital impact on society will, however, fall short if we do not educate people on the need for cybersecurity even as they benefit from our digital products and services.

We marked that in November 2021, so we are still celebrating an annual 10th anniversary. We believe we need to come back to the subscribers and customers of our members to bring the service close to them, interact with them, educate them, and create awareness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also brought some regulators, such as the Radiation Protection Institute, to demystify some challenges people have with masts and more. This activity also allows the community to get answers to their questions, register their SIM cards, and interact with the brands they subscribe to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The market storm also served as a medium for the Vodafone team to highlight the telco\u2019s commitment to the SIM registration process, educate the crowd on its importance, and conduct SIM re-registration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vodafone Ghana, in partnership with the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications, has educated Ghanaians about Mobile Money security and how to avoid being defrauded.
