As our #CyberSecMonth campaign ‘Your brain is the first line of defence’ comes to a close, Urpo Kaila, Head of Security Policies at CSC, shares his reflections on #InformationSecurity and on what he believes to be also the ‘last line of defence’:
“The last line of defence is not about listing requirements, regulations and standards, or the latest hype in #cybersecurity tools. It is you!"

We often hear that the #HumanFactor is the weakest link in the #security chain, but as cyber attacks continue to evolve, so too do our protective measures and #SecurityAwareness
According to Enrico Venuto, CISO at Politecnico di Torino, humans are beginning to serve as the most acute and sensitive sentinels against cyber attacks: https://connect.geant.org/2024/10/28/the-weakest-link

#CrisisManagement is everyone's business.
For #CyberSecMonth, Maria Edblom Tauson (@sunet) explains why it's fundamental for all of us to be prepared for a crisis and to know exactly what to do when a crisis strikes.
Crisis management is a collective responsibility, and during a crisis, collaboration is the key. Being prepared is always better than being caught off guard.

Practical steps for secure and ethical #AI use by educators and researchers by Marlon Domingus (Erasmus University Rotterdam):
3️⃣ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱
Before using AI tools, ensure you fully understand how they work, what data they collect, and where that data is stored. Set them up thoughtfully — don’t rely on automated decisions or default settings to ensure compliance with security and data privacy standards. -

AI can help spark creativity and get people out of ‘bubbles’ of thinking by presenting different perspectives — but critical thinking is vital. “AI outputs can look dazzling, but you only benefit from them if you understand the domain & topic well enough to distinguish nonsense from genuinely valid insights.” -

According to Salvatore Todaro (University of Messina), poor #cybersecurity is similar to cigarette smoking.
Both have direct and indirect consequences, with significant costs for everyone. Often, the root cause is individual behaviour. And as with smoking, it will likely take years to fully understand the problems and total costs involved.
The solution? Other than quitting “smoking”, it’s essential to educate people about the harms: https://connect.geant.org/2024/10/10/the-importance-of-cybersecurity-a-cost-for-everyone
