Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Ensign InfoSecurity and Life Community Empower Children with Cyber Safety Skills this Children's Day

SINGAPORE, Oct. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Children are spending more time online than ever, and with that comes greater exposure to scams, cyberbullying, and digital predators. A recent Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) study^[1] revealed that while most parents guide their children's online use, only 37% feel confident in doing so. With inappropriate content, interactions with strangers, and cyberbullying topping parental concerns, children are fast becoming prime targets for cyber threats.

To mark Children's Day and Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Ensign InfoSecurity, Asia's largest pure-play cybersecurity services provider, partnered with Life Community Services Society to host 50 children aged 7 to 11 for a half-day programme at its Singapore headquarters. The initiative aimed to build digital confidence and safe online habits, equipping children with practical skills to protect themselves in today's connected world.

The activities included escape rooms, puzzles, and interactive challenges, where the children learned essential digital defence skills - from creating strong passwords and spotting suspicious links to understanding the value of kindness in online spaces. Guided by Ensign's employee volunteers and supported by Life Community's dedicated team, the children became Cyber Explorers for the day, outsmarting digital villains and earning their place as real-life cyberheroes.

Cyber Awareness Begins Young

Many children today are growing up as digital natives, but often without the awareness or tools to navigate online risks safely. Much like road safety, cyber hygiene is no longer optional but a life skill every child needs. Just as children are taught to look both ways before crossing the street, they now need the same confidence and awareness to navigate risks in the digital world.

"Cyber awareness must start early," said Charles Ng, CEO of Ensign InfoSecurity. "This Children's Day, and as part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we wanted to do something meaningful for the children supported by Life Community. By making cyber safety engaging and relatable, we hope the experience not only raises awareness of online issues from a young age but also builds lifelong curiosity and digital confidence in technology."

Life Community's CEO, Ms Lam Moi Kwai, echoed this view: "This Children's Day, we wanted our children to feel not just celebrated, but empowered. This programme is a natural extension of our mission to nurture every child to be the best they can be, which is by helping them thrive in every space they inhabit, including the digital world. Cyber safety is not a luxury; it is a life skill, and partnerships like this allow us to meet our children's needs in holistic and relevant ways."

Programme Highlights

The Children's Day programme included:

• Cyber threats unmasked – An engaging introduction to basic cybersecurity concepts such as phishing, safe sharing, and password hygiene.
• Cyber detective games – A mix of station-based and Escape Room-style challenges where children worked in teams to solve puzzles to uncover locked passwords and complete digital safety missions.
• Meet a Cybersecurity Hero – An inspiring sharing session with a real Ensign cybersecurity expert, encouraging children to believe in themselves and their future potential.
• Certificates of participation– Each child received a personalised Cyber Hero certificate, a participation medal and a fun pack to commemorate the experience.

About Life Community Services Society

Life Community Services Society, established in 1996, is a social service agency registered under the National Council of Social Service (NCSS). Its vision is to enable every child to be the best that they can be. Life Community seeks to empower children and families through care and mentoring, providing support to about 800 children annually from low-income and vulnerable backgrounds, including those whose parent/s is/are presently or formerly incarcerated. 

Children deserve a fair chance to grow to their fullest potential – for themselves, their families, and their communities. Life Community's child-centred mentoring approach focuses on building

relationships and creating environments that are intentional, positive, relational, and sustainable, to enable every child to develop holistically in four domains of growth – socio-emotional, behavioural, cognitive, and physical. It reaches out to the community through five core programmes – Friends of Children & Youth, MightyKids, Families & Community, Life Student Care, EduGrow for Brighter Tomorrows, and Friends2Gather. 

Life Community is building a new mentoring space at Bedok for children aged 4 to 14. Here, they will pick up practical life skills—like cooking, creating, and even simple chores—that build discipline, teamwork, and confidence. Research shows these small habits in childhood often become the foundations of success in adulthood. 

Members of the public who wish to support Life Community's efforts can contribute through donations or volunteer work, helping to sustain programmes that nurture disadvantaged children and families. Please visit Life Community's website. With your support, children gain skills that last a lifetime.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Ensign InfoSecurity and Life Community Empower Children with Cyber Safety Skills this Children's Day

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- From January 6–8, 2026, Arspura, a premium smart home appliance brand focused on healthier kitchen air, presented its latest IQV™ innovations at CES 2026 and hosted a three-day brand program in Las Vegas. Centered on exclusive technology, respiratory wellness, and user experience, the program brought together experts, product leaders, and real customers to spotlight how better cooking environments can start with better indoor air management.

At the heart of Arspura's CES showcase was its proprietary IQV™ Dynamic Particulate Capture Technology, designed to capture cooking smoke, grease particles, and odor at the source—helping reduce the common "smoke escape" problem many households experience with traditional ventilation. Through live demonstrations and deep-dive sessions, Arspura emphasized a clear brand promise for modern kitchens: Cook freely, breathe freely.

To watch highlights from Arspura's CES 2026 showcase, visit:

Day 1: Uncovering the Kitchen's Invisible Health Threats

On the first day of CES 2026, Arspura kicked off its brand program with a keynote by Professor Francesca Dominici of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (Professor of Biostatistics & Data Science; Professor of Environmental Health).

Drawing on her research on air pollution and health, she highlighted the risks of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and emphasized that even low-level exposure can make people sick. She noted that PM2.5 can be particularly hazardous for older adults, people with existing health conditions, and individuals with asthma, and stressed that preventing cooking-related PM2.5 from dispersing indoors and reducing exposure at the source is crucial for family health.

Reflecting on this message, Arspura underscored its commitment to helping more households—especially those with asthma or nasal sensitivities—cook with greater comfort by reducing smoke and odor irritation, so more people can truly cook freely and breathe freely.

Day 2: Redefining a New Standard for Smoke-Free Cooking

On the second day, Arspura's product manager led a technical session explaining how IQV™ airflow design works together with high-airspeed capture (up to 13 m/s) to deliver high capture performance with minimal smoke escape. The presentation framed Arspura's approach as more than a product: a combination of technology and daily usability designed to make healthy cooking feel effortless.

Arspura also welcomed a special on-site visit and interview from media figure Yang Lan, who explored the booth experience and shared positive feedback on IQV™ technology and the IQV Hood concept—particularly its relevance for people sensitive to cooking fumes who want a more comfortable kitchen environment.

Day 3: Bringing Healthy Kitchen Living Into Everyday Ease

Arspura closed out CES 2026 with strong momentum, earning five awards during the show. To cap the three-day program, the brand invited its first group of IQV Hood users for a face-to-face sharing session, paired with immersive, hands-on demonstrations. Through interactive experiences and practical use scenarios, attendees felt firsthand how the product can deliver "health protection" and "easy cleaning" simultaneously, translating the idea of a healthier kitchen into tangible everyday value.

Passionate home cooks also shared how they had previously tried multiple traditional range hoods yet still struggled with smoke escape and lingering odors, while Arspura's IQV™ performance provided noticeably improved smoke capture and deodorization—making cooking more enjoyable and inspiring friends and family to upgrade after seeing the results.

What's Next for Arspura

Backed by strong recognition at CES 2026 and reinforced by firsthand user stories, Arspura's IQV™ showcase signaled a growing shift toward kitchen ventilation solutions that prioritize both health and everyday usability. Building on this momentum, Arspura will continue to develop smarter, cleaner-air technologies for modern homes.
