Keynote: Prof. Dr. Kristin Weber

• Kristin Weber (Technical University Würzburg-Schweinfurt (THWS))

How does behaviour change work? How to turn security behaviours into habits? Kristin Weber will share insights on behavioural change, using the COM-B model as a framework.

Break-out session 1 In small groups, we will brainstorm on an effective approach to encourage users to report cyber incidents, lock their screen or implement safe authentication. Participants will receive a hand-out from the moderator helping them to use the COM-B framework for behavioural change.

Break-out session 2 In small groups, we will brainstorm on an effective approach to train people to distinguish fake from real and prevent social engineering attacks. We will use several awareness materials created by GÉANT and the NREN community. Participants will receive a hand-out from the moderator helping them to effectively communicate on the topic of social engineering.

Best practices from the R&E community

• Sofie Pieraerd (KU Leuven)
• Karel Titeca (KU Leuven)

In an academic environment, where innovation and openness are key, the risks from cyber threats are particularly high. KU Leuven, Belgium’s largest university, has been proactively raising security awareness and training for years through the e-mune programme. Using a structured approach, targeted campaigns and effective communication, KU Leuven has succeeded in creating a culture of information security. Sofie Pieraerd and Karel Titeca, from KU Leuven’s central IT department, will share how they started with small steps and gradually expanded the programme, and which campaigns they have launched over the years.
