Information Systems -Cybersecurity & People
“Cybersecurity and privacy cannot be ensured by technology and law alone, but are primarily shaped by people. Effective solutions can only be created if the human factor is taken into account.”
Nico Ebert, Head of Cybersecurity & People
The human factor in cybersecurity and privacy
How can an organization better prepare for a cyberattack? How can staff awareness be improved and behaviour made more secure? How can individuals better protect their personal data? And how can technology be designed to support people in navigating the digital space more securely?
In an interdisciplinary team with backgrounds in computer science, organization and psychology, we develop innovative solutions in the field of cybersecurity and privacy (e.g. measuring cybersecurity awareness or developing IT security management frameworks). Our focus is on individuals and organizations alike. We use established methods, for example from the fields of behaviour change, organizational learning and safety, and work closely with other experts, such as through the Cyber Resilience Network for the Canton of Zurich or the Cybersecurity Lab der ZHAW.
