Description

According to the Verizon Data Breach investigation Report 2024, in 68% of data breaches a human element is involved. With an increasing urgency to address awareness and training, many organizations are unfamiliar with this area of expertise, understaffed and without budget.

In this presentation we’ll take a structured approach to the topic of awareness and training. In 2025 Dutch R&E institutes worked together with SURF to develop a process for awareness. This process orders the various subjects and makes it easier to prioritize depending on the needs of the organization. The goal is to create a common language to improve collaboration and sharing of knowledge between institutions.

This presentation would be of interest to NREN’s who face similar challenges addressing human related risk for themselves and their members. The key take away is a structured approach to awareness and training, including several use cases. This process can be used to focus on developing and working on awareness and training in a comprehensive and effective way.
