In today's information society we can no longer avoid the digital world. Technological progress have brought us to the point, where networked mobile devices are part of our daily lives. This does not exclude children and adolescents who are, from an online safety perspective, an extremely easy target for abuse. The human factor plays a key role in cybersecurity, so in order to prevent abuse we can no longer rely solely on the protection of the technical side, but have to focus our efforts on users. With its systematic awareness system, Slovenia fails to keep pace with the times, but with each renewal of prevention programs we are already 10 years behind and responsibility for prevention is shifted between different actors. With each generation new technologies, mobile devices and applications are available and prevention is not sufficient. It needs to be approached holistically - to include children, adolescents, parents as well as professionals, and in the case of a master's degree, teaching staff, and not only teach them about new technologies, but to teach them through information and communication technologies. This is the only way we can make current and future generations safe online.
