DIGITAL SECURITY AWARENESS…IN ACTION
Abstract: What is security awareness, and why is it so important for business organisations and individuals? The seminar will try to answer these questions, by providing an overview of the building blocks of a digital security awareness programme, its main challenges and critical success factors. In an interactive format, the seminar will combine theoretical concepts with examples of real awareness initiatives and practical exercises.
