What does the Cybersecurity week/month look like?
Cybersecurity Week consists of a varied program built around various sessions, interactive games and workshops. The goal? To engage employees on the topic of cybersecurity in a fun and motivating way. Here's what the week usually looks like:
- Daily speaker: Each day begins with an inspiring speaker who addresses current cybersecurity topics. This can range from practical tips to in-depth insights, depending on the knowledge level of the participants.
- Interactive games: To keep attention and make learning fun, gamification is an important part of Cybersecurity Week. Employees can participate in quizzes, escape rooms and interactive sessions where they can earn points. These points provide an element of play and motivate everyone to actively participate, as employees must achieve a minimum number of points.
- Level-specific sessions: The week offers sessions for different levels of knowledge, so everyone can participate at their own level. For example, there are beginner sessions for those who know little about cybersecurity, and advanced sessions for those who already have a little more knowledge.
- Hacking demos: One of the most impressive parts of the week is the hacking demo. During these sessions, employees get to see how easy it can be for a hacker to gain access to company data. This often creates a lot of awareness and discussion.
- Practical workshops: In addition to the theoretical sessions, there are also practical workshops where employees learn how to apply cybersecurity in their daily work. These range from recognizing phishing emails to implementing company procedures.
- Closing Drinks: The week concludes with an evaluation and celebratory drinks. This is the time to reflect on what was learned and to appreciate everyone's efforts.
