GÉANT CSM23 Webinar - Successful internal awareness programme in R&E: approaches and outcomes

– 15:00 – 16:00 CEST | Speaker: Jan Landsaat, Privacy Officer, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences

Successful internal awareness programme in R&E: approaches and outcomes

As of September 2023, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences stands as the first and currently the only (as far as we know) larger Education Facility in The Netherlands to require all its staff (4000+) to undergo Security and Awareness training. The journey to reach this milestone was no small feat, as the Security and Privacy team had to overcome a series of obstacles spanning over two years.

Please join Jan as we take a retrospective journey through this process, and feel free to draw inspiration and insights from our approach.

Mainly aimed at: People responsible for security awareness programmes in their organisation (awareness specialists, CISOs, security or communication officers, learning & development specialists, etc.).

Thanks to our collaboration with RedCLARA, live interpretation services will be available for all our CSM webinars also this year in three languages (English, Spanish and Portuguese).
