3:45 PM - 4:15 PM
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.
