Business professionals play a key role in cybersecurity. Their experience in risk management, governance and strategic leadership is essential to assess and prioritize risks and align security strategies with business objectives.

This workshop will provide you with concrete tools and insights on how to integrate cybersecurity into the classroom. There will also be room for inspiration, new knowledge, examples and dialog about both business needs and the role of students in the cyber security industry.  

The workshop is part of the project 'Tværfagligt netværk og vidensdeling om cybersikkerhed' (translated as 'Interdisciplinary network and knowledge sharing on cybersecurity'), which is supported by the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science. The aim is to strengthen the integration of cybersecurity competencies in future education.   

We look forward to an educational workshop where we can together shape the future of cybersecurity education in BSS programs.

There are a limited number of places, so register as soon as possible with Karina Dollerup at k.brunsvig@cc.au.dk no later than October 18.
