Importantly, in increasingly digital economies, everyone must have some digital literacy to keep the country safe and build trust. Some of the eight recommendations include:

• Appoint an agency to drive digital literacy
• Fund research to advance internet safety
• Increase access to computer education
• Run dedicated campaigns for public awareness
