Cyberakuten—Our series of webinars was organized by Luleå University of Technology; during the event in November, Johan Lugnet presented Cyberhygien—Du har väl tvättat händerna? (Cyber Hygiene: Have You Washed Your Hands?). The event gathered representatives/students and private persons from various fields and places, both physically in Kronoby, Skellefteå, and Luleå and online.
During the presentation, Johan explained some of the fundamental behavioural principles and strategies for strengthening information security in organizations – focusing on fostering a strong security culture and addressing the human factors that play a critical role in cybersecurity.
Key Takeaways:
- Cyber Hygiene Essentials: Participants discussed the “must-do” list for maintaining a secure digital environment, including implementing user awareness training, securing mobile devices, applying layered defences against malware, and conducting regular data backups.
- Balancing Technical and Human Aspects: The session emphasized the importance of merging technical measures with clear communication, leadership support, and personal accountability to ensure compliance and foster innovation.
- Motivation and Hygiene Factors: The discussion highlighted how leadership, clear policies, and supportive work environments can motivate employees to adopt better cybersecurity practices.
This webinar is part of the CYBERAKUTEN series, which aims to build knowledge and resilience in the face of cybersecurity threats.
Stay tuned for future events and resources to empower individuals and organizations in their digital journey.
