Full Description

Show more

Cybersecurity often concerns itself with what goes wrong, an attack that could have been prevented, or an aftermath that could have been less impactful. We seem to ignore the fact that often, things go right. That attacks can be repelled, or can be stopped before the damage they do becomes too large. In this project, we investigate what we can learn from organisations that are successful in terms of cybersecurity on the levels of end-users, teams and organisations.
