Programme

This overview course is structured into seven sessions. We start with an overview of methodologies and technologies, beginning with a holistic view of cybersecurity in a digital ecosystem (session 1). Cybersecurity plays a critical role in ensuring data privacy, which involves complying with privacy laws and regulations like GDPR (session 2). The programme then progresses to hands-on workshops: one focused on network security (session 3) and another on the protection of the growing category of embedded ‘IoT’ devices (session 4). As standards and certifications also play an increasing role in implementing cybersecurity measures, this is the focus of the next session (session 5). We learn how (not) to respond, when a cyberattack occurs, and hear the lessons learned from a 'victim' (Session 6). Finally, we look ahead to what the future holds, especially in the context of cybersecurity in the era of quantum computing (Session 7).
